The Republic of The Pandins is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mr Panda with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, strictly enforced bedtime, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.078 billion Pandins 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pandaville. The average income tax rate is 26.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Pandin economy, worth 103 trillion Pandin Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 49,802 Pandin Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, where there's smoke there's the Pandin Forestry Department, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, and government officials go door-to-door educating about the dangers of pseudoscience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Pandins's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Pandins is ranked 125,409^th in the world and 1^st in Cats are cute for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 604.74 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
