The Protectorate of Paffnicard 2 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Aleksandar Vekili with an even hand, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.949 billion Paffniacs 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skoptopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Paffniac economy, worth 899 trillion banks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,137 banks, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

Wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, criminals tell the police where their jurisdiction ends, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paffnicard 2's national animal is the card, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is card farming.

Paffnicard 2 is ranked 30,198th in the world and 2nd in 10KI Card Farm for Most Stationary, with 1,344.07276479288 days.
