The Kingdom of Pyraania is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by King Farisado Augustulus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.251 billion Pyranians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Swayambhunath. The average income tax rate is 74.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Pyraanian economy, worth 839 trillion Pyran Rupees a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 134,282 Pyran Rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Residents of newly dried out bays live in fear of leaky dikes, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, economists speak of trusting in the Tao of Free Market Capitalism, and protecting the land is holey work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pyraania's national animal is the Pyranian Monal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Pyraania is ranked 12,001^st in the world and 673^rd in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 10,486.75 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
