The Empire of Pygora is a large, genial nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 156 million Pygorans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Pygoranian economy, worth 8.84 trillion Pygoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,684 Pygoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, academics are questioning the quality of the nation's newly-reprinted science textbooks, glamping Pygorans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and no one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pygora's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pygora is ranked 29,430^th in the world and 16^th in Ensio for Safest, scoring 109.26 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
