The Republic of Piadosa is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Morris with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.433 billion Piadosans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port George. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Piadosan economy, worth 511 trillion Piadosan Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,864 Piadosan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, claiming that "my cousin said it was legal" is a common courtroom defense, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, and social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Piadosa's national animal is the Trogon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Piadosa is ranked 276,029th in the world and 10,454th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -10.2 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
