The State of Pae is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.625 billion Paeans 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong Paean economy, worth 855 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 62,769 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 222,183 per year while the poor average 12,803, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Pae has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pae's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pae is ranked 90,672^nd in the world and 1^st in Parts Unknown for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,378.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
