The Anarcho Communist State of Palcania is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its frequent executions, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 710 million Palcanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nordston. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Palcanian economy, worth 72.0 trillion Berots a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 101,408 Berots, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, anyone can get ahead in life if they want to, billions of Berots are being poured into a space program, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime is almost non-existent. Palcania's national animal is the Black Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Palcania is ranked 102,810^th in the world and 4,213^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 828.59 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
