The Imperial Federation of The Pacific Ring is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Prime Executive Andris Fennik with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.624 billion Citizens are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Diamond-Onyx. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Federal economy, worth a remarkable 5,569 trillion E-Federal Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 524,256 E-Federal Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The stratosphere is full of "silent but deadly" attacks from Prime Executive Andris Fennik's rear echelons, visiting the best Federal restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, and the police ransack more houses than criminals do. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Pacific Ring's national animal is the Cascadian Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cordian Records.

The Pacific Ring is ranked 95,911th in the world and 1,200th in the Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,043.62 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
