The Republic of Pyongwangpyoichohwan is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Inh Heo Seo with an even hand, and notable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 6.66 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, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Education and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pal'gan pip'yong-ya City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34%. A large private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The government is reining in public spending, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, school uniforms are compulsory, and Pyongwangpyoichohwan's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pyongwangpyoichohwan's national animal is the Ba Kua Tiger, its national religion is Pyonghwanggwo Buddhism, and its currency is the Ba-Hwang.

Pyongwangpyoichohwan is ranked 8th in Yggdrasil and 1,408th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 126 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
