The Federated Alliance of Free Pacific States is a federal presidential constitutional republic comprising five states and a federal district. The nation is situated in South Yasteria, just South of Pax Draconica, and just North of East Malaysia. The Federated Alliance shares a land border with Pax Draconica and the Lyon Republic, even though the Free Pacific States is largely comprised of an archipelago. The Federated Alliance is amongst the largest and most highly populated nations on Urth with approximately 341,852,000 persons inhabiting its 1,684,000 square kilometers. It is one of Urth's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries.
Codex colonized what is now the Free Pacific States in the mid-ninth century, though indigenous peoples of Asian origin inhabited the area for thousands of years prior to that point. The native population was greatly reduced by disease and warfare after Codexian contact, however, and now comprises only a minority of the population. The Codexians withdrew in the mid seventeenth century, at which point Infinite Loop invaded the area, ruling it until the Packo Empire took it over in the late eighteenth century. In the late nineteenth century, the five current states of the Federated Alliance broke off from the collapsing Packo Empire, forming five independent nations. Those countries slowly unified over the next half century, especially after the Looplite invasion of 1937, and officially formed one nation in 1949. The Federated Alliance remained isolationist until the 1990s, but has subsequently risen to become a major world power.
The Federated Alliance is a Developed Country with a high standard of living, a low level of income inequality, and sizable global domestic product. The Federated Alliance was a post-industrial until the mid-2000s, when a trade agreement with the Pax reinvigorated Free Pacifican manufacturing and agricultural industries, leading the nation to partially revert to an industrial society. The Federated Alliance is enjoying a decade-long, immense economic boom thanks to the Pax trade agreement, which has driven the nation's GDP to an estimated $23.1 trillion in 2015. The Free Pacifican economy is largely driven by information technology, manufacturing, agriculture, and the service sector.
