The Republic of Pineacres is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.514 billion Pineacresians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Jaguar City. The average income tax rate is 15.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pineacresian economy, worth 148 trillion Pizzas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 98,335 Pizzas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, coalition governments are essential to passing new laws, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and the state is footing the bill for billionaires' lawyers. Crime is relatively low. Pineacres's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pineacres is ranked 74,872^nd in the world and 16^th in Benigtopia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
