The Republic of Papto is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning cobra population. The hard-working population of 1.078 billion Paptoans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16.0%.

The Paptoan economy, worth 50.4 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 46,781 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Papto's national animal is the cobra.

Papto is ranked 214,172^nd in the world and 2^nd in Serekunda for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 288.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
