The Armed Republic of Machu Pikacchu is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Comrade Generalissimo Pikachu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, public floggings, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.762 billion Pikachus 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Machu Pikacchu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.9%.

The strong Machu Pikacchu economy, worth 690 trillion PokeCoins 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. 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 70,774 PokeCoins, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

The volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, and hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Machu Pikacchu's national animal is the Pikachu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Machu Pikacchu is ranked 68,758^th in the world and 1^st in Pokemon Gang for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,764.4 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
