The United Pineslavic Peoples of Republic of Pine is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Iva Aruväli with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.708 billion Piners are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Männilinn. The average income tax rate is 79.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pineslavic economy, worth a remarkable 1,358 trillion Trade Tokens a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,391 Trade Tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, one little fight can find you movin' to be the fresh prince of Ilba, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, and the newly revamped army is so eager for action that it has trouble keeping the peace. Crime is totally unknown. Republic of Pine's national animal is the Alpine Ibex, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Piner-Orthodox.

Republic of Pine is ranked 1,739^th in the world and 1^st in The Democratika for Least Corrupt Governments, with 96.63 percentage of bribes refused.
