The Federal Commonwealth of Pax Aurea is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Gaius Proctus with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 29.803 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 receives no funds. 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 16,694 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 560,165 Aurean Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government ministers sport new billboards that read 'Will Trade Votes for Private Members' Bill Support', heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, people can get away with murder these days, and the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees. 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 127,076^th in the world and 56^th in European Union for Largest Black Market, with 244 billion Standard Monetary Units.
