The Republic of Panorama Paradise is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its national health service, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.02 billion Panorama Paradiseans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Panorama Paradisean economy, worth 80.1 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,507 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Panorama Paradisean Space Agency, government statistics suggest 115% of the population love Leader, and baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Panorama Paradise's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Panorama Paradise is ranked 51,937^th in the world and 585^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 143.25 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
