The Republic of Paappapapa is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 305 million Paappapapans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 47.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Paappapapan economy, worth 23.8 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,023 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, glamping Paappapapans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, baiting is a national sport, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime is totally unknown. Paappapapa's national animal is the Nothing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Paappapapa is ranked 43,180^th in the world and 1,043^rd in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
