The Kingdom of Pyraania is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by King Pyrobyte Augustulus with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 987 million Pyranians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Swayambhunath. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pyraanian economy, worth 114 trillion Pyran Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,231 Pyran Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, it's surprisingly hard to find pictures of the bad haircuts from King Pyrobyte Augustulus's childhood, and money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution. 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.

Pyraania is ranked 26,580^th in the world and 1,819^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
