The Pirates Cove of Piedra Negra is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Guybrush Threepwood with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 41.785 billion Tri-Island area inhabitants are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Melee Island. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Monkey Islander economy, worth an astonishing 10,262 trillion Stans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 245,607 Stans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign visitors who show an interest in Monkey Islander politics are immediately deported, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, there is a dearth of space for new houses, and it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Piedra Negra. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Piedra Negra's national animal is the Ghost Pirate Lechuck, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Scallywag.

Piedra Negra is ranked 262,997^th in the world and 39^th in Antarctica for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 12,034.74 Standard Monetary Units.
