The Grand Duchy of Pinaplo 38 is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 477 million Pinaplo 38ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Pinaplo 38ian economy, worth 2.83 trillion PInaples a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 5,932 PInaples, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pinaplo 38's national animal is the Pianflers, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Pinaplo 38 is ranked 189,575th in the world and 4,833rd in the Rejected Realms for Fattest Citizens, with 9.65 Obesity Rate.
