The Allied States of The Palkian Empire is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Brigadier General Sigsteinn Arda with an even hand, and renowned for its digital currency, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 18.619 billion Palkians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scoria. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Palkian economy, worth a remarkable 3,735 trillion Merits a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 200,653 Merits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Referenda are held for every conceivable government action, the army consists of only generals and grunts, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold. Crime is totally unknown. The Palkian Empire's national animal is the Komodo Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is nothing more than being a nice guy.
