The Theocracy of Pyropados is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and national health service. The compassionate, devout population of 11.133 billion Pyropadosi are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 86.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pyropadosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,405 trillion chars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,274 chars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The official Pyropadosian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, vaccinations are mandatory, both criminals and civilians are DOA, and pawn shop reality shows dominate basic cable. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pyropados's national animal is the salamander, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Flame.

Pyropados is ranked 14,387^th in the world and 994^th in Lazarus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 106,938.91 Standard Monetary Units.
