The Galactic Empire of Pyrosian knights is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Dele IV with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, avowedly heterosexual populace, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 2.887 billion Pyrosians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vulcan. The average income tax rate is 79.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Vulcravian economy, worth 606 trillion Dragons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 210,188 Dragons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Amorous nobles always bring the same disappointing gift to weddings, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Pyrosian knights's radio stations, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, and cheese has become the new icon of political dissent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pyrosian knights's national animal is the Dalerian Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pyroism.

Pyrosian knights is ranked 15,287^th in the world and 5^th in Authotaria for Most Corrupt Governments, with 120.51 kickbacks per hour.
