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 notable for its suspicion of poets. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 19.02 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.

Mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, and construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is 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 3,286th in Lazarus and 130,087th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring -20 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
