The State of Papaza is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 32.893 billion Papazans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Papazan economy, worth a remarkable 1,811 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 55,081 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, a major religion has been named as Papaza's national religion, Papaza has designated Westminster as its capital city, and the Governor has just been declared ruler of Papaza in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Papaza's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Papaza is ranked 61,925th in the world and 384th in Ancient Lands for Most Stationary, with 755.06331537028 days.
