"The freer the market, the freer the people." "We shalt be free." "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." "A pleasant little corner of the world." "We got it, you want it!"
['IMG]Droa[/IMG]['IMG]Bokutachi[/IMG]['IMG]South Myrari[/IMG]['IMG]Oshenno[/IMG]['IMG]Vilanoria[/IMG]
"We Can Know All." "Life, for the sake of life, is the only kind." "Peace & Love." "We shall fight for life." "We are free."

From sweeping, clean and white beaches to sun-drenched hills in wine country, from the charming rural hospitality of the western uplands to the stunning centuries-old architecture in Timiocato and Mandragora, and from the financial heart that is this capitalist republic to the fiercely democratic government that runs it, Pacitalia is a land of astounding contrasts, but eternal unity. Sixteen provinces are united here under the banner of freedom and high quality of life, regardless of political stripe or religious affiliation. Pacitalia is and has always been one of the true beacons of equality and togetherness the world has seen, and it doesn't seem to be changing. Despite the formality, politeness and punctuality of this western nation, it seems that wherever you go, someone is always around to help you when you need it. As the old saying perfectly goes, a man is the sum of his accomplishments and his compassion. Not visiting Pacitalia is truly a sin.

Economy
Economy - overview
Pacitalia's economy is among the strongest in the world. The economic strategy is well-planned by the government and the economic productions in the nation are extremely diverse, capitalising heavily on natural resources and technological innovations. Pacitalia is becoming a founding nation of alternative energy sources and is a major source of renewable energy and renewable energy innovations.

Pacitalia operates a market-based economy which has almost no regulation from the government. However, the government's bureaucratic division responsible for the authority over the economy, the PEC (Pacitalian Economic Commission), places a priority on product safety and quality. All industries in the country have been privatised (ferries, beaches, national parks, garbage, prison networks, transportation). All industries are allowed to operate freely, although the government also strictly enforces environmental, labour, and product safety laws.

Poverty levels are almost none, despite having no welfare system. There is still at least one area in each city where less-fortunate people live, though the numbers of them are less than 100. The country is devoutly capitalist and places no priority on the aid to less-fortunate. This creates a higher work ethic from citizens because they know if, for example, they were laid off from their job, they would not be able to rely on handouts, which would obviously be non-existent. The government offers reasonable pensions, meaning people may have to work into their early seventies (however, with the high life expectancy, this is not much of a problem for older citizens). The government has fully privatised health care and places a priority on education funding. The government encourages local enterprise, and embraces foreign investment in the country. Minors can start work as early as 13 years of age, however, they are not legal adults until 20.
