The Confederacy of Pacific International Lines is a massive, safe nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.643 billion Pacific International Linesians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.1%.

The all-consuming Pacific International Linesian economy, worth 438 trillion dollars 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, 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 an impressive 120,373 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, bungee jumpers rarely go splat, the last thing Pacific International Linesian soldiers hear before charging into battle is a preacher trying to convert them, and the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pacific International Lines's national animal is the tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pacific International Lines is ranked 76,528^th in the world and 4,215^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,798.45 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
