The Holy Empire of PizzaSteve37 is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 403 million Pizzians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pizza City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.9%.

The frighteningly efficient PizzaSteve37ian economy, worth 41.2 trillion Pizza Bites a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 102,139 Pizza Bites, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons, global warming is heating up, retail stores offer sales every hour on the hour, and requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PizzaSteve37's national animal is the Idunno, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

PizzaSteve37 is ranked 51,757th in the world and 2nd in Ultimate Potato Republic for Most Developed, scoring 76.95 on the Human Development Index.
