“Nobilis Est Ira Leonis”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Pasargad is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Cyrus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 39.112 billion Pasargadians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Persepolis. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pasargadian economy, worth a remarkable 8,376 trillion Darics a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 214,177 Darics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, interest in globalism never flags, Cyrus is considering changing the Pasargadian flag to one with more glitter, and modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pasargad's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pasargad is ranked 315,190^th in the world and 5,915^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.23 flags saluted per person per day.
