The Commonwealth of Pikaparadise is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.062 billion Pikaparadiseans 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 Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 35.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Pikaparadisean economy, worth 271 trillion Pokeballs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 66,815 Pokeballs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, tuba players are paid to quietly whisper into their instruments, toxic smog is dismissed as the populace just "letting off steam", and a major religion has been named as Pikaparadise's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pikaparadise's national animal is the Pikachu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pikaparadise is ranked 108,792nd in the world and 1st in Tokyo for Highest Average Incomes, with 66,815.65 Standard Monetary Units.
