The Colony of Pisces 059 is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 3.928 billion Pisces 059ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Pisces 059ian economy, worth 115 trillion Starfleets a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,519 Starfleets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, and the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pisces 059's national animal is the ATAN, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Pisces 059 is ranked 193,961st in the world and 9,308th in Osiris for Smartest Citizens, with 25.93 quips per hour.
