The Confederacy of Pyazhnaya is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 11.648 billion Pyazhnayans 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 Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krasnograd. The average income tax rate is 35.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Pyazhnayan economy, worth 558 trillion koronas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,896 koronas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the government prefers to kill off its enemies by peaceful means, fly fishermen are legally forbidden from using electronic lures, and fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pyazhnaya's national animal is the arctic marble fox.

Pyazhnaya is ranked 25,707^th in the world and 17^th in Anaia for Nicest Citizens, with 20.98 average smiles per day.
