“Pacifica Prevails!”

The Justice Enforcing Juggernaut of Pierconium is a gargantuan, devout nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.559 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 100%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Criminals are thrown to the Drachuls to repay their debt to society, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, all citizens are solely referenced by their allocated identity number, and large areas of Pierconium are not accessible by the public. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pierconium's national animal is the Drachul, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Franco.

Pierconium is ranked 235th in the region and 9,781st in the world for Most Dedicated Public Healthcare.
