The Supreme Imperial Union of Panormia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Prazko Takoy Stavin II with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 26.299 billion Patroniks are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akantor. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Panormian economy, worth a remarkable 5,862 trillion Jenstar Ancíres a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 222,910 Jenstar Ancíres, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work, there's often a little nagging voice suggesting that parents aren't keeping their kids safe, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and children are often punished for the sins of the fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Panormia's national animal is the Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Darteism.

Panormia is ranked 291,272^nd in the world and 6,939^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -36.58 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
