The Dominion of Pasarga is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Azra Majistar with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 38.52 billion Pasargans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Torgos. The average income tax rate is 62.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Pasargan economy, worth a remarkable 1,209 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 31,407 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and the number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pasarga's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Zoroastrianism.

Pasarga is ranked 98,306th in the world and 20th in Rushmore for Highest Drug Use, scoring 181.67 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
