The Unstoppable Army of The Pikmin is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 14.292 billion Pikmins have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Environment, with Administration, Defense, and Industry also on the agenda, while Education and Healthcare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Distant Spring. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The thriving Pikminian economy, worth 924 trillion pokoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,655 pokoes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 287,722 per year while the poor average 9,042, a ratio of 31.8 to 1.

Tourists flock from around the world to see The Pikmin's famed 'rainbow slums', what citizens give with one hand they take away with the other, the government has forked out millions on an unmade bed that is apparently East Lebatuckese "art", and bounty hunters have been dispatched to hunt down rogue bounty hunters. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Pikmin's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Pikmin is ranked 283,197th in the world and 1st in PNF 404 for Safest, scoring 4.4 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
