The Federation of -Pyhajoki- is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, national health service, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, devout population of 4.975 billion -Pyhajoki-ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 62.1%.

The frighteningly efficient -Pyhajoki-ian economy, worth 661 trillion gambles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 133,006 gambles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, new "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker, and black gold is looking more brown these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Pyhajoki-'s national animal is the gamble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

-Pyhajoki- is ranked 34,839^th in the world and 45^th in Municipalities of Finland for Highest Average Incomes, with 133,006.1 Standard Monetary Units.
