The Communist Bloc Patriot of Pancakeon is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Pancakes with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 6.961 billion Cakers enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Red Shambhala. The average income tax rate is 84.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pancakian economy, worth 866 trillion maple syrup bottles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 124,545 maple syrup bottles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, and every computer glitch triggers an immediate counter-espionage response. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pancakeon's national animal is the Butter frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pancakeon is ranked 319,510^th in the world and 336^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 20.76 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
