Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Darwinist State of Pyretica is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by The Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its suspicion of poets. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 19.05 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyretica City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

All citizens are solely referenced by their allocated identity number, long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Pyretica's national animal is the untermensch, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the ak5.

Pyretica is ranked 4th in Lazarus and 115th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 64 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
