Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Very Pacitalian Republic of Pacitalia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Franchessa Marconi with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 16.876 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Timiocato. The average income tax rate is 28%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Automobile Manufacturing.

The government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Franchessa Marconi's bedroom, abortions are routinely performed in Pacitalia's hospitals, and students abandon classrooms for online education. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pacitalia's national animal is the blue fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the douro.

Pacitalia is ranked 81st in Atlantian Oceania and 92,444th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -133 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
