Flag of Republican Pacific Islands
The Lost Federation of Republican Pacific Islands is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Benjamin Walker with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 1.362 billion Pacificans 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Imperium. The average income tax rate is 21.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Pacifican economy, worth 83.3 trillion Pecunias a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 61,154 Pecunias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
RPI-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, strange lights seen in the sky are officially regarded as weather balloons or hoaxes and nothing else, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, and self-driving cars occasionally mow down pedestrians to avoid inconveniencing passengers. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republican Pacific Islands's national animal is the Red-and-Green Macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
