The Republic of Palrem is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 14.402 billion Palremese enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The strong Palremian economy, worth 813 trillion Palremese dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 56,475 Palremese dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts. Crime is moderate. Palrem's national animal is the Whooper swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Palrem is ranked 228,559^th in the world and 1^st in The Confederacy of Free Cities for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.04 kickbacks per hour.
