The Dominion of Pacific Empire is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by MrPacific with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 24.759 billion Pacific Empireans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of PacificCity. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pacific Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 3,299 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 133,283 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, 'Eaglenado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, all roads lead to PacificCity, and the colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pacific Empire's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Pacific Empire is ranked 114,724th in the world and 137th in Nederland for Most Patriotic, with 13.74 flags saluted per person per day.
