The Expanding Galactic Union of Pancanawe Republic is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ballard Oakenheart with an iron fist, and remarkable for its fear of technology, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.305 billion Pancanaweans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oji's City. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Pancanawean economy, worth 157 trillion Aurums a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 120,723 Aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, builders across Pancanawe Republic are blocked up with orders for new public loos, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, and Oji's City is a police state during international summits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pancanawe Republic's national animal is the Pancanawe Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Pancanawe Republic is ranked 229,082^nd in the world and 321^st in Wintreath for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring -19.97 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
