The Protectorate of Pacifica Founder is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 28.221 billion Pacifica Founderians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.0%.

The thriving Pacifica Founderian economy, worth a remarkable 1,285 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 45,541 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, education and welfare spending are on the rise, and racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle. Crime is a problem. Pacifica Founder's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Pacifica Founder is ranked 81,664^th in the world and 2^nd in Pacifica for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,203.39 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
