The Kingdom of Padokea is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, complete lack of prisons, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 270 million Padokeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Kurta. The average income tax rate is 49.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Padokean economy, worth 20.4 trillion Jennies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 75,392 Jennies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government has spread itself thin, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", and the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Padokea's national animal is the Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Padokea is ranked 93,478^th in the world and 1,450^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 75,392.1 Standard Monetary Units.
