The So-called free state of Paulopia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Raul IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, triple-decker prams, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.8 billion Paulopians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utopia. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Paulopian economy, worth 679 trillion Clods a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 178,758 Clods, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Female restaurant chefs are not allowed to have male customers, Big Brother is still watching even when your big brother is dead, colonial subjects have Paulopian culture shoved down their throats, and new "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paulopia's national animal is the King Cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The cult of Raul IV.
Paulopia is ranked 229,034th in the world and 2nd in Robadian Assembly of Sovereign States for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -0.89 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
