The Freedom Land of Pagnor is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mr Computer with a fair hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, daily referendums, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 12.732 billion Pagnorians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Industry is also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Big City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Pagnorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,543 trillion glods 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Gambling. 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 121,268 glods, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount The Big City make great practice for foreign snipers, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, and travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Pagnor flights to avoid the pay lavatories. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Pagnor's national animal is the orca, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nothingness.

Pagnor is ranked 285,521^st in the world and 11,031^st in Lazarus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -20.49 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
