The Democratic Republic of Picminlan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed population of 2.489 billion Picmians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 25.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Picminlanian economy, worth 118 trillion Kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,288 Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Celebrity chefs are thought to be the progenitors of all food, people regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed, army uniforms are replaced en masse to accommodate adult soldiers, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime is relatively low. Picminlan's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Picminlan is ranked 116,189^th in the world and 645^th in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Poor Incomes, with 27,672.94 Standard Monetary Units.
