The Polyarchal State of The Provincial Union of the Pacific is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Alexander with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 19.165 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pacific City. The average income tax rate is 87.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pacifican economy, worth a remarkable 1,704 trillion Aquilas a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,925 Aquilas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one The Provincial Union of the Pacific" at foreigners, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime is totally unknown. 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 26,951^st in the world and 21^st in Union of Christian Nations for Largest Governments, scoring 27.95 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
