The Southern Cross Republic of Paxium Imperium is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Regional Council with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, flagrant waste-dumping, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.549 billion Paxiums 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 medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irelium. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Paxium Imperiumian economy, worth 466 trillion Lydiniums OR Condorian Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 131,502 Lydiniums OR Condorian Credits, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Dictionary sales have hit an all-time high, the same 3549 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Regional Council's every word on Twitcher, the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, and historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paxium Imperium's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Pluralism.

Paxium Imperium is ranked 37,413^th in the world and 18^th in Avaldonia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
