The State of Pyz is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, complete lack of public education, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 34.838 billion Pyzians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Spirituality, with Industry, Welfare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Law & Order are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The thriving Pyzian economy, worth a remarkable 1,851 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 53,136 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have been outlawed. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Pyz's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pyz is ranked 70,521^st in the world and 198^th in State for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,459.13 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
