The Disputed Territories of New Palcotil is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 3.748 billion New Palcotilians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient New Palcotilian economy, worth 140 trillion Korniats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,548 Korniats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375, the nation's "surprisingly chill" military is renowned for its horrendous war crimes, and drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Palcotil's national animal is the Mossy Forest Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Palcotil is ranked 60,401st in the world and 1,053rd in the West Pacific for Safest, scoring 99.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
