The Empire of Pyraminx is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, enslaved workforce, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.739 billion Pyraminxians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 53.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Pyraminxian economy, worth 262 trillion Duckcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,138 Duckcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Endangered species are effective hostages against the Pyraminxian military, fish with fish chips have become the new Pyraminxian food staple, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pyraminx's national animal is the Duck.

Pyraminx is ranked 54,922nd in the world and 201st in Artificial Solar System for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,825.13 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
