The Federal Republic of Pica Land is a huge, safe nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 472 million Pica Landians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of São Sexburgo. The average income tax rate is 41.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Pica Landian economy, worth 49.5 trillion Picuinhas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 104,870 Picuinhas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state, Air Pica Land is rumored to receive more government funding than the Pica Landian Air Force, the "blue screen of death" forces many trials to be either aborted or restarted, and ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pica Land's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pica Land is ranked 54,118^th in the world and 1,330^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 104,870.48 Standard Monetary Units.
