The Queendom of Pitreas is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Candela with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.857 billion Pitreasians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pitrana. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Pitreasian economy, worth 341 trillion Vers a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,389 Vers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, and war vets look after war animals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pitreas's national animal is the Python, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pitreas is ranked 23,771^st in the world and 7^th in Mystria for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,027.42 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
