The Empire of Packlandia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Me with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.83 billion Packlandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Slotherland. The average income tax rate is 28.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Packlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,051 trillion Cadlyns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 217,783 Cadlyns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it, Packlandia's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, you can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs, and visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Me. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Packlandia's national animal is the dinosaurs, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Troutism.

Packlandia is ranked 7,280th in the world and 3rd in Palatine for Smartest Citizens, with 107.79 quips per hour.
