The Federation of Pannonia and Dalmatia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Pannonius Dalmaticus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 19.715 billion Pannonia and Dalmatians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of PanDal City. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Pannonia and Dalmatian economy, worth a remarkable 2,015 trillion Ducats a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,215 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, biology and religious education classes have recently been merged, every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, and criminals are thrown to the Horses to repay their debt to society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pannonia and Dalmatia's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pannonia and Dalmatia is ranked 278,504^th in the world and 1,231^st in Europeia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 6,439.57 Standard Monetary Units.
