The Kingdom of Pindu is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 207 million Vlachs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Vlaheşti economy, worth 11.8 trillion Pindus Dinars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,175 Pindus Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, immigrant herding has become a national pastime, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pindu's national animal is the Dog Anoubis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pindu is ranked 233,048^th in the world and 3,840^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.02 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
