The Social Marquisate of Pinicada is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Marquês de Pinicada José II Gonzal with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 9.336 billion Pinicadas have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Penico. The average income tax rate is 58.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Pinicada economy, worth a remarkable 1,347 trillion Malteses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 144,296 Malteses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, embarrassed police officers wear spandex and carry net guns, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', and restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Pinicada. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pinicada's national animal is the Bonia, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Pinicada is ranked 143,259th in the world and 7th in The Great Monarchical Nations for Most Stationary, with 189.44610792108 days.
