The Incorporated States of Old Palvingolf is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ritual sacrifices, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 316 million Old Palvingolferians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luxograd. The average income tax rate is 75.1%.

The thriving Old Palvingolfian economy, worth 33.4 trillion Oders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 105,819 Oders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's water should not be ingested while operating heavy machinery, grim instructresses lead the unwillingly impregnated in chants of "it's all my fault" and "blessed be the fruit", tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs, and dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old Palvingolf's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Old Palvingolf is ranked 237,096th in the world and 122nd in Covenant Shores for Most Secular, with 14.06 Atheism Rate.
