The Premier Nation of Pierre Auguste Renoir is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Pierre Renoir with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 19.234 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Education, with areas such as Healthcare and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Limoges. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, and Jennifer Government is a bestseller. Crime is pervasive, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Pierre Auguste Renoir's national animal is the leeuw, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Atheism, and its currency is the gulden.

Pierre Auguste Renoir is ranked 1st in 000 and 5,524th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring 12 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
