The Kingdom of Pyraania is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by King Pyrobyte Augustulus with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.068 billion Pyranians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Swayambhunath. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pyraanian economy, worth 126 trillion Pyran Pounds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,760 Pyran Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, sexuality-questioning teenagers are placed in locked rooms with dirty magazines and lewd posters, political speeches that drill deep into bureaucratic fine detail could be said to be a little boring, and exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pyraania's national animal is the Pyranian Monal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Pyraania is ranked 126,567^th in the world and 4,871^st in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,487.86 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
