The Federation of Pavlov is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Council with an even hand, and notable for its enslaved workforce, compulsory vegetarianism, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 3.404 billion Pavlovians 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, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District XII. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Pavlovian economy, worth 448 trillion francs 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 Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. 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 131,821 francs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 809,069 per year while the poor average 9,400, a ratio of 86.1 to 1.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Pavlov, suspicious glow-in-the-dark wasps remain a source of terror and awe, tie-dye has been outlawed for being 'too occult', and cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Pavlov's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Pavlovian Orthodox.

Pavlov is ranked 82,295th in the world and 27th in Geopolity for Most Stationary, with 584.70977856328 days.
