The Kingdom of Pavlikstan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by First Consul Pavlik with a fair hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, infamous sell-swords, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 13.283 billion Pavlikstanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Funland. The average income tax rate is 41.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pavlikstanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,351 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,998 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, and political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pavlikstan's national animal is the beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Pavlikstan is ranked 10,843rd in the world and 219th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 2,239.861934543 days.
