The Federation of Pacifian is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Hart with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.344 billion Pacifians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District of Cascadia. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Pacifian economy, worth 835 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,225 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People are bored of easy crossword puzzles, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, a degree in President Hart Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, and students at universities think exercise bikes are pieces of abstract art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pacifian's national animal is the Pacifian grizzly bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Pacifian is ranked 1,849^th in the world and 59^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 98.06 on the Human Development Index.
