The Rogue Nation of Piishimi is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 150 million Piishimians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Piishimian economy, worth 3.10 trillion sea dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,664 sea dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, nothing gets the party jumping like Leader specifying how high, and advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Piishimi's national animal is the telescope goldfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Piishimi is ranked 61,384^th in the world and 1,292^nd in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.48 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
