The Federal Commonwealth of Pax Aurea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Gaius Proctus with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 28.601 billion Aureans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pacifica. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Aurean economy, worth an astonishing 15,710 trillion Aurean Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 549,291 Aurean Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out, the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, and tourists are forbidden to enter Native Aurean lands. Crime is totally unknown. Pax Aurea's national animal is the wild cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Council of World Religions.

Pax Aurea is ranked 29^th in the world and 1^st in European Union for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 27,475.8 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
