The Democratic Republic of Pax Aeterna is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 509 million Pax Aeternans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurea Civitas. The average income tax rate is 53.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pax Aeternan economy, worth 48.7 trillion Aurels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 95,634 Aurels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Dictators have dubbed Pax Aeterna the land of lunatics, video evidence of cruel animal experiments tends to be of poor quality, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and enemy governments seem especially interested in Pax Aeterna's election cycle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pax Aeterna's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pax Aeterna is ranked 77,999^th in the world and 854^th in the West Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
