The Aspiring Arcadians of Pygania is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Daryush J Trayast with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, unlimited-speed roads, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 13.359 billion Pyganians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anquas. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Pyganian economy, worth a remarkable 6,339 trillion vrigs a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 474,568 vrigs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Pyganian Moonshine", public enemies often walk home with spotless garments and crime records, and awkward tourists are offered the 'unique experience' of rodeo clown. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Pygania's national animal is the boar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Zoroastrianism.

Pygania is ranked 687^th in the world and 1^st in India for Most Corrupt Governments, with 561.14 kickbacks per hour.
