The Commonwealth of Palium is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Governor-General Airu Reshon with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.121 billion Palis enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rumion. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Paliumian economy, worth 311 trillion Palas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,847 Palas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, and children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Palium's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Palium is ranked 254,022nd in the world and 8,241st in Balder for Most Stationary, with 17.792523335 days.
