The Empire of Pasargad is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Cyrus with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 42.549 billion Pasargadians 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 government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Persepolis. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pasargadian economy, worth a remarkable 9,156 trillion Darics a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 215,195 Darics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, interest in globalism never flags, Cyrus is considering changing the Pasargadian flag to one with more glitter, and modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pasargad's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pasargad is ranked 211,214^th in the world and 2,780^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 2.27 kickbacks per hour.
