Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Very Pacitalian Republic of Pacitalia is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Franchessa Marconi with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 17.492 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 30%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Automobile Manufacturing.

Students abandon classrooms for online education, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, re-education centers are being added to most prisons, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. 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 10th in Atlantian Oceania and 2,777th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 7 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
