The Empire of Pallaseum is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 68 million Pallaseumians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 7.1%.

The very strong Pallaseumian economy, worth 4.67 trillion paels a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 68,615 paels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

All tariffs have been abolished, military spending is on the increase, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pallaseum's national animal is the peacock.

Pallaseum is ranked 195,810^th in the world and 71^st in Ridgefield for Safest, scoring 44.87 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
