The Republic of Papto is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning cobra population. The hard-working population of 1.184 billion Paptoans 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.0%.

The Paptoan economy, worth 55.4 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 46,781 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Papto's national animal is the cobra.

Papto is ranked 225,913^th in the world and 2^nd in Serekunda for Most Developed, scoring 52.69 on the Human Development Index.
