The Commonwealth of Pacifico setentrional is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.703 billion Pacifico setentrionalians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The all-consuming Pacifico setentrionalian economy, worth 451 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 96,027 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, and builders across Pacifico setentrional are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pacifico setentrional's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pacifico setentrional is ranked 143,516^th in the world and 1^st in The pacifico setentrional for Largest Populations, with 4.70 billion capita.
