The Script of Py is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.855 billion Pyians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Pyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,984 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,563 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.
Immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, billions of Golds are spent to take high-quality photos of the Elephant Nebula, and ancestry test results arrive bundled with patent applications. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Py's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Py is ranked 269,970th in the world and 10,415th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -8.01 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
