The Protectorate of Paffnicard 6 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Aleksandar Vekili with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 8.084 billion Paffniacs are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skoptopolis. The average income tax rate is 48.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Paffniac economy, worth a remarkable 1,001 trillion banks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,935 banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, all beauty contests have been banned, and politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paffnicard 6's national animal is the card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is card farming.

Paffnicard 6 is ranked 218,121^st in the world and 18^th in 10KI Card Farm for Nicest Citizens, with 7.52 average smiles per day.
