The Game of Paldea is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Eevee with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.984 billion Inklings 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hyrule. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Paldean economy, worth 423 trillion Win Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 106,364 Win Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paldea's national animal is the Goomba, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gamerism.

Paldea is ranked 259,730^th in the world and 1,264^th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -5.1 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
