The Republic of Paappapapa is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 317 million Paappapapans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 47.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Paappapapan economy, worth 24.8 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,076 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Glamping Paappapapans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, baiting is a national sport, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and a PhD just ain't what it used to be. Crime is totally unknown. Paappapapa's national animal is the Nothing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Paappapapa is ranked 53,556^th in the world and 994^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,993.9 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
