The Most Excellent Empire of Picairn is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Menellia I with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.897 billion Picairnians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stormridge. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Picairnian economy, worth a remarkable 2,275 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 255,803 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign leaders are advising that Emperor Menellia I's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, Emperor Menellia I is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, hedge fund managers are diversifying into herbaceous borders, and bad punctuation has come to a full stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Picairn's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Picairn is ranked 3,350th in the world and 166th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 127 law-abiding acts per hour.
