The Queendom of Pih Poh is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.706 billion Pih Pohians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.
The very strong Pih Pohian economy, worth 130 trillion creds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 76,626 creds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 252,778 per year while the poor average 17,384, a ratio of 14.5 to 1.
Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pih Poh's national animal is the raccoon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Pih Poh is ranked 102,123rd in the world and 133rd in Sophia for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 3,728.51 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
