The Department of Piura is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Governor Jonathan Murao with an even hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, daily referendums, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 4.421 billion Piurans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad Piura. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Piuran economy, worth 777 trillion Sols 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. 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 175,843 Sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, and prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Piura's national animal is the Sea Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Piura is ranked 13,228th in the world and 1st in Peru for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
