The Empire of Pasargad is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Cyrus with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.941 billion Pasargadians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Persepolis. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pasargadian economy, worth a remarkable 6,678 trillion Darics a year, is 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 215,855 Darics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Populations of two-headed Lions have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Daric treacle machine, and 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Pasargadian Space Agency. 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 85,942^nd in the world and 2,047^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 724 billion Standard Monetary Units.
