The Protectorate of Pinzao is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 349 million Dominians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Matsukai. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.1%.
The strong Pinzaoan economy, worth 26.5 trillion Zhaos a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,046 Zhaos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 286,890 per year while the poor average 14,040, a ratio of 20.4 to 1.
Water fights now end with thousands dead, only the richest get to see out of their windows, tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, and small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pinzao's national animal is the Albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Pinzao is ranked 118,733rd in the world and 13th in New World of Free Nations for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,711.18 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
