The Cashew Outside of Pista Ciao is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 7.502 billion Pista Ciaoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Pista Ciaoan economy, worth 394 trillion pistachios a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,532 pistachios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, and ports have ground to a halt as no boat can reach them without trespassing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pista Ciao's national animal is the bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Pista Ciao is ranked 106,315^th in the world and 816^th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
