The River of Pirahna is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 23.663 billion Pirahnans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — prioritizes Law & Order, although International Aid, Environment, and Social Policy are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Pirahnan economy, worth 469 trillion pirahnas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 19,829 pirahnas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have been outlawed and the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pirahna's national animal is the pirahna, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pirahna is ranked 85,234^th in the world and 119^th in The Western Isles for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
