Pan-Kek Republic

The Pan-Kek Republic (Pan-Kek: Republiek der Verenigde Pannenkoek) is one of the sovereign entities in the world of Pisa Manama. It was founded by president Marnik Marnik in november 2015, starting what is now known as the Sixth Age. Most of its territory is situated in the old Lake District, south of the Principality of Newmark and west of the Oldmark Mountains.

Exploits


Owing to its fertile soil and rich supply of domesticable wildlife, as well as its relatively short history, the Republic is almost exclusively rural. Lacking the major settlements and infrastructure of other nations, Pan-Kek citizens do not seek to dominate nature but choose to live in harmony with their natural environment. Most operations in the Republic are done without preliminary planning, with a surprising degree of success. Its agricultural sector - which is focused on wheat farming but also includes the keeping of cows, sheep and rabbits - outperforms larger nations like the Commonwealth of Aresas and Catadonia. Its mines have also yielded diamonds within a single week of opening, a historic feat only the Catadonian mines can claim to match.

Diplomacy
The Pan-Kek Republic is isolationist in nature, sharing no borders with other nations and lacking any roads or railways connecting it to its closest neighbours. President Marnik Marnik upholds diplomatic relations with the world's twin powers, Pieter Kingdom and the United States of Naomi, but his government has yet to pay an official visit to these nations. In fact, there is no evidence that any Pan-Kek citizens have ever visited any other nation in Pisa Manama at all, leading to the suspicion that the president aims to shield his population from any outside influence that might conflict with his personality cult. Controversially, the Pan-Kek government has also claimed that Jumbo Sheep, one of Pieter Kingdom's most famous landmarks, was modeled after Sjaak Schaap, the first domesticated sheep in the Republic and a treasured mascot for the country.
