The Community of Pasveria is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.741 billion Pasverians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pastown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Pasverian economy, worth 582 trillion Transaction-Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 212,525 Transaction-Coins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,326,300 per year while the poor average 14,520, a ratio of 91.3 to 1.

Artists can sign away their music on luxury paper with freshly-squeezed squid ink, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and bags of fertiliser come with detailed instructions for not making explosives. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Pasveria's national animal is the Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pasveria is ranked 102,412^th in the world and 2^nd in Kaltmera for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,867.26 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
