The Confederated Directorate of Pasxo is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Holy Directorate Council with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.334 billion Pasxoi 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Providence. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Pasxoan economy, worth 92.8 trillion Dekatoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,589 Dekatoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign football clubs wave the Pasxoan flag before every game, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, The Holy Directorate Council is called 'Patches' at international summits, and bowls of milk left on windowsills please fairies and passing cats alike. Crime is totally unknown. Pasxo's national animal is the Lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Pasxo is ranked 109,249^th in the world and 94^th in The Wellspring for Most Extreme, scoring 22.65 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
