The Colony of PGAC is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its digital currency, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 823 million Communalists hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 19.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Communalist economy, worth 48.2 trillion Intersystemic Units a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,514 Intersystemic Units, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Kindergarten teachers with ankle-bracelets are closely supervised by their parole officers, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, and the PGAC Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime is totally unknown. PGAC's national animal is the Sapient Robot, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

PGAC is ranked 224,631st in the world and 60th in Shots Puppets for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 306.06 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
