The People's Republic of Piesio is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, parental licensing program, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.096 billion Lulus are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Healthcare, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Lulu economy, worth a remarkable 2,926 trillion Lulus a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Gambling, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 361,449 Lulus, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,238,983 per year while the poor average 5,188, a ratio of 624 to 1.

Millions are awarded in damages for bad haircuts, mandatory updates on software drivers often bring life to a halt, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and Tesco was recently named as the new national treasurer. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Piesio's national animal is the Lulu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Piesio is ranked 281,953^rd in the world and 176^th in Poetry for Safest, scoring 4.63 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
