The Democratic Republic of Pax Aeterna is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 686 million Pax Aeternans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurea Civitas. The average income tax rate is 37.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Pax Aeternan economy, worth 70.0 trillion Aurels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 101,968 Aurels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pax Aeterna is ranked 63,956^th in the world and 568^th in the West Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 101,968.43 Standard Monetary Units.
