The Meritocratic Commonwealth of Pragmatikotita is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Michail Mpompomastoras with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 16.562 billion Realists 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 Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elecrenea. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Pragmatikotitan economy, worth a remarkable 2,833 trillion gold coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,073 gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Where there's a will there is usually a password manager, the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pragmatikotita's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pragmatikotita is ranked 231,612^th in the world and 127^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Black Market, with 239 billion Standard Monetary Units.
