The Federation of Pazair is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.286 billion Pazairies 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 prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pazairy economy, worth 954 trillion Pazzes a year, is fairly diversified and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,495 Pazzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, government employees from Pazair dominate international lumberjack competitions, prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet, and centuries-old marble buildings are being torn down and replaced with corrugated steel wind tunnels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pazair's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pazair is ranked 1,131^st in the world and 67^th in The North Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 33.5 bananas ingested per day.
