The Federation of -Pyhtaa- is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.968 billion -Pyhtaa-ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.0%.

The frighteningly efficient -Pyhtaa-ian economy, worth 631 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, Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 127,205 gambles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 360,087 per year while the poor average 35,932, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal, family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off, tabloids coo over Leader's expected child, and human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Pyhtaa-'s national animal is the gamble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

-Pyhtaa- is ranked 38,733^rd in the world and 108^th in Municipalities of Finland for Highest Average Incomes, with 127,205.95 Standard Monetary Units.
