The Commonwealth of Pacfican States is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.345 billion Pacficans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Pariedia. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pacfican Statesian economy, worth 161 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 119,747 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They who do not work shall not eat, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, the government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels, and primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pacfican States's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pacfican States is ranked 281,400^th in the world and 267^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -12.54 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
