The Federal Commonwealth of Pax Aurea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Gaius Proctus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 36.516 billion Aureans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important, while Defense receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pacifica. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Aurean economy, worth an astonishing 22,120 trillion Aurean Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 605,762 Aurean Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, eminent domain has been abolished, and rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay. Crime is totally unknown. Pax Aurea's national animal is the wild cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Council of World Religions.

Pax Aurea is ranked 25th in the world and 1st in European Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 361.76 law-abiding acts per hour.
