The Most Excellent Empire of Picairn is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Menellia I with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.904 billion Picairnians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stormridge. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Picairnian economy, worth a remarkable 2,277 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 255,803 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign leaders are advising that Emperor Menellia I's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, Emperor Menellia I is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, hedge fund managers are diversifying into herbaceous borders, and bad punctuation has come to a full stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Picairn's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Picairn is ranked 3,533rd in the world and 149th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 200 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
