The Holy Empire of Pinaplo 23 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning penguin population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.248 billion Pinaplo 23ians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The tiny, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.
The very strong Pinaplo 23ian economy, worth 85.9 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 68,839 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pinaplo 23's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Pinaplo 23 is ranked 232,132nd in the world and 2,771st in Suspicious for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
