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

The Republic of Pineapple Belongs on Pizza 26 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 5.916 billion Pineapple Belongs on Pizza 26ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 61.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Pineapple Belongs on Pizza 26ian economy, worth 38.4 trillion deniers 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Soda Sales, Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 6,490 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, Harry Potter books are banned, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and foreign lack of enthusiasm for Pineapple Belongs on Pizza 26ian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pineapple Belongs on Pizza 26's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
