The Federation of Pacifian is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Hart with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.4 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 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Pacifian economy, worth 850 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 193,321 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals are amongst the best-funded in the region, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, businesses are required to round down their profits, and there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety. 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 148,966^th in the world and 674^th in Europe for Largest Populations, with 4.40 billion capita.
