The People's Republic of Pixikin is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 430 million Pixikinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anibell. The average income tax rate is 21.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Pixikinian economy, worth 30.5 trillion Kybers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,931 Kybers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, and pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers. Crime is totally unknown. Pixikin's national animal is the Fairy, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pixikin is ranked 213,092^nd in the world and 4,123^rd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
