The Meritocratic Commonwealth of Pragmatikotita is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Michail Mpompomastoras with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, daily referendums, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate population of 15.042 billion Realists 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 Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elecrenea. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Pragmatikotitan economy, worth a remarkable 2,556 trillion gold coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,928 gold coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Michail Mpompomastoras is called 'Patches' at international summits, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Realists like vultures, stony-faced ratings board panelists are unamused by free lap dances, and twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pragmatikotita's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pragmatikotita is ranked 4,297^th in the world and 8^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,530.5 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
