The Democratic Republic of Picminlan

“Strength Through Freedom”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic Republic of Picminlan is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed population of 2.332 billion Picmians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 25.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Picminlanian economy, worth 110 trillion Kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,435 Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The official Picminlanian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, children need to wear helmets and safety harnesses before mounting a carousel horse, and the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Picminlanian Navy. Crime is relatively low. Picminlan's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Picminlan is ranked 195,025^th in the world and 413^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Populations, with 2.33 billion capita.
