The True Ohio Weirdness Capital of Piqua is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Mayor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service and daily referendums. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.571 billion Piquans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jerome Horwitzton. The average income tax rate is 20.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Piquan economy, worth 136 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 53,205 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Jerome Horwitzton to enjoy their national art, no one over the age of 35 has the slightest clue what is going on, there's no such thing as bad publicity, and referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Piqua's national animal is the undergarment, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Piqua is ranked 133,593rd in the world and 5th in The Isolated Earth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
