The Republic of Pithivi raj is a tiny, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 18 million Pithivi rajians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The thriving Pithivi rajian economy, worth 1.29 trillion florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 71,940 florins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 330,778 per year while the poor average 9,484, a ratio of 34.9 to 1.

Organ donation rates have hit a new low, former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, and rural Pithivi rajians are missing the forest for the numerous cellular towers they replaced. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pithivi raj's national animal is the leopard.

Pithivi raj is ranked 95,834^th in the world and 1^st in Soccer infinity for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
