The Imperial State of Piikala is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by 太陽神 with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 18.08 billion サンの人々 are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 帝国の本拠地. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient 太陽の人々 economy, worth a remarkable 3,710 trillion ピカラン円s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an amazing 205,212 ピカラン円s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", scientists on maritime expeditions return with a healthy glow, people are left scratching their heads at the government's decisions, and Widow Twankey complains about being "cancelled". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Piikala's national animal is the ハワイの鷹, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is 神道.

Piikala is ranked 17,482^nd in the world and 748^th in Osiris for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,978.75 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
