The Republic of Pasadenna is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, lack of airports, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 62 million Pasadennans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.8%.

The very strong Pasadennan economy, worth 4.03 trillion American Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,006 American Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens may cast their vote over the internet or phone, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, students cut up leftover American Dollars during Arts and Crafts, and wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pasadenna's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pasadenna is ranked 192,183^rd in the world and 59^th in The Toastic Assembly for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,049.79 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
