The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 314 million Pickachu Cloneans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 43.0%.

The strong Pickachu Clonean economy, worth 16.7 trillion Pawnirds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 53,174 Pawnirds, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Harry Potter books are banned, surveillance cameras are banned, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pickachu Clone's national animal is the Pickachu, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pickachu Clone is ranked 132,464^th in the world and 1^st in Pickachu Convention for Most Developed, scoring 57.24 on the Human Development Index.
