The Federal Commonwealth of Pax Aurea is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Gaius Proctus with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 29.262 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, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense isn't funded at all. 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 16,262 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 555,758 Aurean Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Inheritance tax has recently been abolished, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, all the playground's a stage for Aurean schoolchildren, and the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop. 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 5^th in the world and 1^st in European Union for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 7,572.21 Tourists Per Hour.
