The Federal Commonwealth of Pax Aurea is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Gaius Proctus with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 31.046 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, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important, while Defense is ignored. 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 17,764 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 572,186 Aurean Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, the Aurean Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, and greenhouses are regularly raided by the police. 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 12^th in the world and 1^st in European Union for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 105.2 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
