The United Pineslavic Peoples of Republic of Pine is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Iva Aruväli with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.548 billion Piners are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Männilinn. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pineslavic economy, worth a remarkable 1,329 trillion Trade Tokens a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,366 Trade Tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats devote many man-hours to trying to measure unquantifiables, public toilets are famed for their rear entries, the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts, and every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government. Crime is totally unknown. Republic of Pine's national animal is the Alpine Ibex, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Piner-Orthodox.

Republic of Pine is ranked 321,215^th in the world and 16^th in The Democratika for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -11.03 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
