The State of United Pacific is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.322 billion United Pacificians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The strong United Pacifician economy, worth 856 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 55,931 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 364,701 per year while the poor average 3,394, a ratio of 107 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the tenet of free speech is held dear, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, and United Pacific has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. United Pacific's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

United Pacific is ranked 289,314^th in the world and 1^st in United Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 33.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
