The Card Capturing Commissariat of Card Captor Pacifica is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by XoriGarth McDurthang with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory vegetarianism, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.21 billion Card Captor Pacificans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, although Administration, Law & Order, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Education and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elegarth City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Card Captor Pacifican economy, worth a remarkable 1,731 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,868 Gold Coins, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

The religious lobby has the power of veto over health initiatives, turnstile jumpers grow up to be tax cheats, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Card Captor Pacifica's national animal is the Black Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Card Captor Pacifica is ranked 260,054th in the world and 67th in Card Captor Pacifica for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.62 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
