The Floating Paradise of Southern Palm Islands is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Devadatta Akiraman with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.301 billion Palmyrans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khurtubh. The average income tax rate is 34.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Southern Palm Islandsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,105 trillion Palmas a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,281 Palmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Cows graze until the wolves come home, foreign leaders with unpaid parking tickets are often refused entry, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southern Palm Islands's national animal is the Palmyran Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sanatana Dharma.

Southern Palm Islands is ranked 217,123^rd in the world and 10^th in Mandalanusa for Highest Food Quality, scoring 10.56 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
