Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Queendom of Easter Pi is a massive, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed population of 3.324 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although the Environment and Law & Order are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Easter Pi City. The average income tax rate is 95%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Children are regularly married to each other to secure business deals between families, movies and computer games are strictly censored for violence, Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme, and children of nonreligious parents are often barred from school festival events. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Easter Pi's national animal is the Ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Paper Frog.

Easter Pi is ranked 1st in Elutraea and 13,721st in the world for Most Influential, scoring 31 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
