The Kingdom of Palisede is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Anderson Eidsvolle with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.11 billion Palisedeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vincent. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Palisedean economy, worth a remarkable 1,532 trillion Palisedean dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,959 Palisedean dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, women give birth underneath so many blankets that the doctor can't feel the bump, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Palisede's national animal is the Gondoan Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Palisede is ranked 80,291^st in the world and 4,112^th in The North Pacific for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 2,457.77 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
