The Free Land of Pytong is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kamil Iwo with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, pith helmet sales, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.374 billion Pytongians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kamilowo. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pytongian economy, worth 365 trillion kapustas 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. 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 154,115 kapustas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, being dead no longer has any benefits, and the nation's latest batch of politicians include internet comedians, an alleged serial killer, and a highly trained Goldfinch. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pytong's national animal is the Goldfinch, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Pytongism.

Pytong is ranked 61,676^th in the world and 2,092^nd in The North Pacific for Most Armed, with 0.62 Weapons Per Person.
