The Pirates Cove of Piedra Negra is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Guybrush Threepwood with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 43.37 billion Tri-Island area inhabitants are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pipersville. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Monkey Islander economy, worth an astonishing 10,194 trillion Stans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 235,054 Stans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, Tri-Island area inhabitants are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, and the government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Piedra Negra's national animal is the Ghost Pirate Lechuck, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Scallywag.

Piedra Negra is ranked 295,007^th in the world and 27^th in Antarctica for Most Pacifist, with 7.21 cheeks turned per day.
