The Republic of Fluffy Panda is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 489 million Pandas have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Administration, Defense, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 5.4%.

The very strong Fluffy Pandan economy, worth 36.8 trillion Bamboo Pieces a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 75,256 Bamboo Pieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Everyone suspects that everyone else is a terrorist, CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, the best doughnut stores have been taken over by foreign police officers, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Fluffy Panda's national animal is the Panda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Fluffy Panda is ranked 135,852^nd in the world and 5,710^th in The North Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.95 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
