The Federal Commonwealth of Pax Aurea is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Gaius Proctus with a fair hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 28.571 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 isn't funded at all. 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 15,700 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 549,525 Aurean Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians. 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 15,294^th in the world and 6^th in European Union for Most Politically Free, scoring 84.86 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
