The Kingdom of Patretra Baassland is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 275 million Patretra Baasslandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Patretra Baasslandian economy, worth 17.8 trillion guilders a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,573 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Minority children find the right answer in school tests is always the most insulting one, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, both criminals and civilians are DOA, and lumberjacks only use certified eco-friendly chainsaws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Patretra Baassland's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Patretra Baassland is ranked 241,743^rd in the world and 170^th in Karma for Largest Populations, with 275 million capita.
