The People's Republic of Pragmatic is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 528 million Pragmaticians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 59.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Pragmatician economy, worth 34.2 trillion Юндавs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,802 Юндавs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fishing lobby has stemmed the tide of environmental regulations, Pragmatician husbands are dead good at fathering kids, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pragmatic's national animal is the Волк.

Pragmatic is ranked 51,746^th in the world and 303^rd in The Communist Bloc for Most Patriotic, with 26.77 flags saluted per person per day.
