The Republic of Pacific Marines is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.19 billion Pacific Marinesians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 40.7%.

The strong Pacific Marinesian economy, worth 48.3 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 40,618 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

All beauty contests have been banned, corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, several inches are being added to first class seating, and children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pacific Marines's national animal is the Tiger Shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Pacific Marines is ranked 194,951^st in the world and 2,455^th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.3 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
