The Federation of Paljavesi Lake is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, daily referendums, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 938 million Paljavesi Lakeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 64.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Paljavesi Lakean economy, worth 55.4 trillion gambles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,066 gambles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, and the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paljavesi Lake's national animal is the gamble, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Paljavesi Lake is ranked 60,831^st in the world and 19^th in Lakes in Finland for Most Secular, with 19.91 Atheism Rate.
