The People's Republic of Pixikin is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 535 million Pixikinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anibell. The average income tax rate is 25.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Pixikinian economy, worth 36.2 trillion Kybers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,637 Kybers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, and pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers. Crime is totally unknown. Pixikin's national animal is the Fairy, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pixikin is ranked 25,789^th in the world and 983^rd in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.91 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
