The Grant of Pistozzi is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Martina Zoncada with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.707 billion Pistozzians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Benegriento. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.0%.

The very strong Pistozzese economy, worth a remarkable 1,352 trillion livroes a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 48,819 livroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 149,134 per year while the poor average 12,387, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, Pistozzi has designated Benegriento as its capital city, Martina Zoncada has just been declared ruler of Pistozzi in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Pistozzi's national religion. Crime is a problem. Pistozzi's national animal is the drunk genet and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Pistozzi is ranked 133,647^th in the world and 48^th in Grant for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 39,544.04 Standard Monetary Units.
