The Confederacy of Pacora is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 513 million Pacorans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The very strong Pacoran economy, worth 30.0 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 58,460 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Pacora's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Pacora is ranked 176,045^th in the world and 6,941^st in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 56.55 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
