The Imperial Federation of The Pacific Ring is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Executive Andris Fennik with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.975 billion Citizens are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Diamond-Onyx. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Federal economy, worth a remarkable 4,666 trillion E-Federal Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 519,951 E-Federal Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments, and bargain-hunting is considered unpatriotic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Pacific Ring's national animal is the Cascadian Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cordian Records.

The Pacific Ring is ranked 293,134th in the world and 4,209th in the Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -1563.63 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
