The Federation of Pithygd is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by God King Gorsch Gobbo with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 4.552 billion Pithygdians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pythigdillia. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pithygdian economy, worth 536 trillion Boiled eggs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,853 Boiled eggs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Holidaymakers sleep curled up on the floor as hotel beds are replaced with oversized bookcases, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pithygd's national animal is the Snorb, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gumblism.

Pithygd is ranked 34,262^nd in the world and 61^st in The League for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,218.08 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
