The Colony of Panderichthys is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 4.799 billion Panderichthysians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.2%.

The Panderichthysian economy, worth 177 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 37,067 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, and Panderichthysian politicians are often described as having more style than substance. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Panderichthys's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Panderichthys is ranked 183,599^th in the world and 1^st in Tulsa for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
