The Sea State of Piets is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Pete Roswell with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles and digital currency. The hard-nosed population of 28.476 billion Piets are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Public Transport, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amsterdam. The average income tax rate is 30.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Pietsian economy, worth 655 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,027 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mandatory electronic currency is a boon for credit card companies and government surveillance, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, Piets has designated Amsterdam as its capital city, and The Church of the Last Crusade has been named as Piets's national religion. Crime is well under control. Piets's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Church of the Last Crusade.

Piets is ranked 274,922^nd in the world and 21^st in Xedas for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 422.78 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
