The Empire of Pasargad is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Cyrus with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 11.821 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Persepolis. The average income tax rate is 94%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pasargad's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Daric.

Pasargad is ranked 4,484th in The North Pacific and 99,418th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -37 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
