The Confederated Directorates of Pasxo is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Holy Directorate Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.652 billion Pasxoi 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Providence. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Pasxoan economy, worth 125 trillion Dekatoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,973 Dekatoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, and the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pasxo's national animal is the Lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Pasxo is ranked 58,202^nd in the world and 55^th in The Wellspring for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
