The Confederated Directorates of Pasxo is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by The Holy Directorate Council with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and national health service. The compassionate, devout population of 5.276 billion Pasxoi are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Providence. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pasxoan economy, worth 571 trillion Dekatoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 108,342 Dekatoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Speeches have been enlivened since The Holy Directorate Council started spitting bars, calls to prayer are the newest dog whistles, economic planning is exalted as a human art form, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 5,064^th in the world and 9^th in The Wellspring for Nicest Citizens, with 45.83 average smiles per day.
