The Grand Duchy of Pampa do Sul is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Grão Duque Pedro I Pinochet with an even hand, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, avowedly heterosexual populace, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 4.891 billion Pampa do Sulians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Spirituality and Defense are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Piratini. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Pampa do Sulian economy, worth a remarkable 1,392 trillion Pilas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 284,668 Pilas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,025,991 per year while the poor average 13,218, a ratio of 153 to 1.

Having skeletons in one's closet is no longer just a macabre idiom, Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls, Grão Duque Pedro I Pinochet has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, and the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Pampa do Sul's national animal is the Panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Católico Apostólico Romano.

Pampa do Sul is ranked 294,128^th in the world and 112^th in Flanelistan for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
