The Federation of -Pyharanta- is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, avant-garde cinema, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.985 billion -Pyharanta-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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.9%.

The frighteningly efficient -Pyharanta-ian economy, worth 582 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, fairly diversified 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 116,811 gambles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 331,130 per year while the poor average 32,931, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, it turns out that trees grow on gambles, -Pyharanta-ians are shown the peaceful ways of free trade by force, and -Pyharanta-ians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Pyharanta-'s national animal is the gamble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

-Pyharanta- is ranked 47,420^th in the world and 251^st in Municipalities of Finland for Highest Average Incomes, with 116,811.46 Standard Monetary Units.
