The People's Land of Pianuland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Iya Robal with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.191 billion Pianulandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Klunrough. The average income tax rate is 85.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pianulandian economy, worth 228 trillion space krownars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 104,249 space krownars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, tax avoidance is a serious affair, and not showing enough enthusiasm for mutual assured destruction is a court-martial offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pianuland's national animal is the kraacepie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Interveropianulism.

Pianuland is ranked 33,891^st in the world and 38^th in Lands End for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,253.86 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
