The Empire of Pinamalayan is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Francis Hernandez with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ban on automobiles, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 869 million Pinamaleñio are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pinamalayan. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Pinamalayanian economy, worth 120 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 138,488 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, and foreign planes and migratory birds are shot down as spies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pinamalayan's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pinamalayan is ranked 154,599^th in the world and 123^rd in Kantrias for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 643.33 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
