The Kingdom of Pyrophellium is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning pearl hummingbird population. The hard-nosed population of 7 million Pyrophelliumians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 31.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Pyrophelliumian economy, worth 241 billion Opals a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,440 Opals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pyrophellium's national animal is the pearl hummingbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pyrophellium is ranked 155,666^th in the world and 8^th in The Sapphirelands for Highest Poor Incomes, with 23,474.61 Standard Monetary Units.
