The Republísio de Mediterranea of Pylonopolis is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Cáetano Belriviéra with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical population of 13.955 billion Paelonesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sloveschina. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Paelonesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,462 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,821 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, and war criminals are given full state funerals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pylonopolis's national animal is the Paelonesian Crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Non-Religious.

Pylonopolis is ranked 237,306^th in the world and 28^th in Regionless for Most Primitive, scoring -136.72 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
