The State of Pacific Union State is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.471 billion Pacific Union Stateans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The strong Pacific Union Statean economy, worth a remarkable 1,105 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 59,866 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 407,019 per year while the poor average 3,216, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Deer are considered a delicacy, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, Pacific Union State has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Pacific Union State in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pacific Union State's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pacific Union State is ranked 144,189^th in the world and 3^rd in Pacific Union for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 67.82 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
