The Warmongering Scaredy Cats of Pacifist Cowards is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by a drunk northerner with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.081 billion Cowards hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Peaceful Glade. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Cowardly economy, worth a remarkable 5,162 trillion shiny things a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 270,537 shiny things, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

At least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to a drunk northerner's wardrobe, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, commuters often break into synchronised para-para dancing for no reason at all, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime is totally unknown. Pacifist Cowards's national animal is the peaceful herbivore, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Opiates.

Pacifist Cowards is ranked 1,442nd in the world and 28th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 897.17 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
