The State of Pirn is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ramona Carline with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.385 billion Pirnians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sophia. The average income tax rate is 72.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Pirnian economy, worth 133 trillion Patakas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,714 Patakas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government has pledged that not one drop of its citizens' blood will be spilt, tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian, whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Pirnian Embarrassments, and one little fight can find you movin' to be the fresh prince of Ilba. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pirn's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Pirn is ranked 60,678^th in the world and 40^th in Corsair for Most Developed, scoring 74.38 on the Human Development Index.
