The Mercerian-Sablinist Empire of Greater Pittsburgh is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Cassandria I with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.782 billion Pittsburghers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pittsburgh. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Pittsburghian economy, worth a remarkable 3,167 trillion Golden Mercer Dollars 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 229,813 Golden Mercer Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
There's a hole in the heart of every Pittsburghian city, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, and nine out of ten citizens of Greater Pittsburgh answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation. Crime is totally unknown. Greater Pittsburgh's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.
Greater Pittsburgh is ranked 13,545th in the world and 600th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 105 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
