The Socialist Workers' Republic of Picuros is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by the KPPCP with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.964 billion Picurians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helsen. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Picurin economy, worth a remarkable 5,728 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 286,954 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Self-sufficiency is built on seizing foreign assets, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, Picurians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, and no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore. Crime is totally unknown. Picuros's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.

Picuros is ranked 2,245^th in the world and 21^st in The Communist Bloc for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 26,190.91 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
