“Pokemon and economy over everything else”

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

The Republic of Pikachustan is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 188 million Pikachustanians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The thriving Pikachustanian economy, worth 14.6 trillion PokeCoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 77,848 PokeCoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 247,119 per year while the poor average 18,687, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pikachustan's national animal is the Pikachu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pikachustan is ranked 16,529^th in the world and 1^st in Pokemon World for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 71,620.23 Standard Monetary Units.
