The Peruvian Region of Piura is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Governor Jonathan Murao with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, lack of airports, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.145 billion Piurans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad Piura. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Piuran economy, worth a remarkable 1,329 trillion Sols a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 216,435 Sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All citizens are solely referenced by their allocated identity number, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Piura's national animal is the Sea Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Piura is ranked 315,121^st in the world and 10^th in Peru for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -10.58 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
