The Republic of Pacificia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its burgeoning eagle population. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 17.078 billion Pacificians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 33.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Pacifician economy, worth 584 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,231 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire, and the government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pacificia's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pacificia is ranked 181,087th in the world and 7,936th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
