The Community of Pantumaca is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Montserrat Puig with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.423 billion Pantumaches are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Casteller. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pantumacan economy, worth 176 trillion pebbles 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. 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 124,280 pebbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In government offices a hidden killer takes the lives of ministers and civil servants, mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, and artists are pillars of society. Crime is totally unknown. Pantumaca's national animal is the melk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pantumaca is ranked 31,629^th in the world and 135^th in Refugia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,165.46 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
