The Perverted Mind of Piero Sraffa is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by COMRADE-FUHRER SRAFFA with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.987 billion Nomads are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newd England. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Nomadic economy, worth a remarkable 8,496 trillion Chicken Nugets a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 447,498 Chicken Nugets, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,678,745 per year while the poor average 83,364, a ratio of 20.1 to 1.

Virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Newd England, practising saying 'how now brown cow' is an essential part of holiday planning, fifty years of pension funds can disappear in half a second, and academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Piero Sraffa's national animal is the Pelican, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Church of SRAFFALOGY.

Piero Sraffa is ranked 751^st in the world and 1^st in Hyperborea for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,163.16 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
