The Imperial Dominion of Pacifica Peace is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Fabius Arius II with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.982 billion Pacificates are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pacific City. The average income tax rate is 6.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pacifica Peacean economy, worth an astonishing 12,716 trillion Zings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 424,130 Zings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Widow Twankey complains about being "cancelled", attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, recorded music can be rented but not bought from record companies, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pacifica Peace's national animal is the Aureus Pacificanum, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Higher Power of Luck.

Pacifica Peace is ranked 288,762^nd in the world and 4,094^th in the Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2.92 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
