The Supreme Imperial Union of Panormia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Prazko Takoy Stavin II with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.802 billion Patroniks are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akantor. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Panormian economy, worth a remarkable 6,204 trillion Jenstar Ancíres a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 223,175 Jenstar Ancíres, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A mushroom a day keeps the sadness away, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, and video game protagonists bear striking resemblances to major political figures. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Panormia's national animal is the Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Darteism.

Panormia is ranked 2,063^rd in the world and 48^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 69.06 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
