The Corporate Bloc of Pacifitec is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, otherworldly petting zoo, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.564 billion Pacifitecians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silicon Spire. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Pacifitecian economy, worth 352 trillion Neural Productivity Tokens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 225,198 Neural Productivity Tokens, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,518,730 per year while the poor average 12,399, a ratio of 122 to 1.

Friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, it's said that a Pacifitecian always pays his debts with significant compounding, parents must decide between buying food and taking their children to the park, and attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Pacifitec's national animal is the Productivity Pal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pacifitec is ranked 308,495th in the world and 3rd in Avonesia for Most Primitive, scoring -526.29 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
