The Federal Commonwealth of Pax Aurea is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Gaius Proctus with a fair hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 38.305 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, socially-minded, 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 23,334 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 609,177 Aurean Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families make most of their annual income from government benefits, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, those who cut young children are told to cut it out, and hospitals are amongst the best-funded in the region. 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 337,199^th in the world and 41^st in European Union for Most Patriotic, with 0.3 flags saluted per person per day.
