The Dominion of Pikkiti is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, enslaved workforce, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.496 billion Pikkitians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Golden Bastion. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Pikkitian economy, worth 695 trillion gold pieces a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 198,905 gold pieces, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 576,051 per year while the poor average 54,426, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.
Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and credit scores fluctuate wildly with every change of government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pikkiti's national animal is the lizard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
