The Students Colony of Pauly is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Paul with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.969 billion Pauls are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Public Transport, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paulstown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.1%.

The thriving Pauly economy, worth a remarkable 1,184 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 51,585 Euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 206,340 per year while the poor average 8,661, a ratio of 23.8 to 1.

Bizarre-looking creatures called 'liondogs' dominate wildlife preserves, minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament, the average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, and government crews work tirelessly to retake the suburbs from organized packs of raccoons. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pauly's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Paulism.

Pauly is ranked 7,938th in the world and 1st in Eternal Scholars for Most Stationary, with 2,637.25356910108 days.
