The Democratic Republic of Pax Aeterna is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 606 million Pax Aeternans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurea Civitas. The average income tax rate is 40.4%.

The all-consuming Pax Aeternan economy, worth 60.7 trillion Aurels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 100,209 Aurels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, and disaster victims are viewed with disdain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pax Aeterna's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pax Aeterna is ranked 13,774^th in the world and 230^th in the West Pacific for Safest, scoring 116.64 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
