The Commonwealth of Pyrenicia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.767 billion Pyrenicians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pyrenician economy, worth 402 trillion aurions a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,693 aurions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Pyrenicia to be bombproof, and bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pyrenicia's national animal is the heron, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pyrenicia is ranked 265,128th in the world and 14th in SimDemocracy for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4.38 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
