The British Territories of Piston 1 is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 1.672 billion Pistonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akillian City. The average income tax rate is 41.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Pistonian economy, worth 85.2 trillion British 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 50,985 British Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

You're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, the nation's Medal of Honour can be found as a free toy in breakfast cereal, students cut up leftover British Pounds during Arts and Crafts, and children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Piston 1's national animal is the elephant.

Piston 1 is ranked 21,577^th in the world and 1^st in The Royal Bermuda Regiment for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,124.97 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
