The Space Pirates of 6wizards is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Captain Wizard with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 24.246 billion space wizards are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tortuga. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish 6wizardsian economy, worth 678 trillion Stars 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 Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. 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 27,996 Stars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military funding has been stripped back, 6wizards has designated Tortuga as its capital city, Captain Wizard has just been declared ruler of 6wizards in an international press conference, and Space Piracy has been named as 6wizards's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 6wizards's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Space Piracy.

6wizards is ranked 52,364th in the world and 1st in The Great Pacific Cabbage Patch for Most Beautiful Environments, with 675.45 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
