Pacifia

The Kingdom of Pacifia is a sovereign island country located in the Pacific Ocean, roughly 100 miles east of Australia. The Kingdom, established in 1822, has a population of 52 million. The Kingdom is ruled by an absolute monarchy, though in recent years the monarch has had some limitations on his power, including the requirement to rule with an elected parliament. Despite this, the King, seen as the 'Sovereign Ruler' of the country, holds all powers of state. Pacifia is a very influential country in the world. It is not a member state of the United Nations or of any major international organisation, and prefers to maintain its neutrality, but a very large and capable military is maintained.
