The United Pineslavic Peoples of Republic of Pine is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Iva Aruväli with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.776 billion Piners are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Männilinn. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pineslavic economy, worth a remarkable 1,372 trillion Trade Tokens a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,874 Trade Tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, the newly revamped army is so eager for action that it has trouble keeping the peace, the government is under the thumb of countless special interests, and things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication. Crime is totally unknown. Republic of Pine's national animal is the Alpine Ibex, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Piner-Orthodox.

Republic of Pine is ranked 45,179^th in the world and 6^th in The Democratika for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 78.17 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
