The Aspiring Arcadians of Pygania is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Daryush J Trayast with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 18.538 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, outspoken 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 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Pyganian economy, worth a remarkable 9,397 trillion vrigs a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 506,930 vrigs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Being nicknamed "Orange Face" has done Daryush J Trayast's credibility no favours, terrorism and assassination are tried-and-true methods of political activism, artists can sign away their music on luxury paper with freshly-squeezed squid ink, and the main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, 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 1,567^th in the world and 2^nd in India for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 31,104.04 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
