The Republic of Palmana is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Miyu Asagawa with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.817 billion Palman hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alledajja. The average income tax rate is 59.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Palman economy, worth 480 trillion Denas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 125,825 Denas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit, foreign workers are flooding in as Denas flood out, footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance, and President Miyu Asagawa's power is effectively nullified as no bill becomes law without the upper house's support. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Palmana's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Aminaē.

Palmana is ranked 14,470^th in the world and 34^th in Declansburg for Highest Food Quality, scoring 137.26 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
