The Republic of Great Patrick is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Kurt Markson with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 16.829 billion Patricians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government prioritizes Healthcare, with Education, Industry, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Herrisbourge. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Patrician economy, worth a remarkable 1,622 trillion Patmarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,437 Patmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Skateparks can be found in every city, old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, and protests are legal but strictly supervised. Crime is totally unknown. Great Patrick's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Great Patrick is ranked 79,187^th in the world and 2^nd in Region Name for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 45.34 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
