The Empire of Piersantia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Kaiser Frederick Von Wilhelm with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.526 billion Piersantians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perlin. The average income tax rate is 26.2%.

The very strong Piersantian economy, worth 131 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,020 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The might of the nation's military are undertaking a long march to colonisation in Brasilistan, people talk about things being better when men were men, Brasilistanis face layers of paperwork in a different language just to visit a doctor, and a government program is underway to revitalize Piersantia's beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Piersantia's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Piersantia is ranked 46,881^st in the world and 243^rd in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 43.85 kickbacks per hour.
