The Polyarchal State of The Provincial Union of the Pacific is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Alexander with an even hand, and notable for its closed borders, complete lack of prisons, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 13.44 billion Pacificans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pacific City. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Pacifican economy, worth a remarkable 1,196 trillion Aquilas a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 89,000 Aquilas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Provincial Union of the Pacific's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Provincial Union of the Pacific is ranked 41,661^st in the world and 104^th in Wintreath for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 96.03 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
