The Republic of Pythaga is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Pythagoras with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 3.59 billion Pythagans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pythia. The average income tax rate is 31.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Pythagan economy, worth 529 trillion Pyths a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 147,397 Pyths, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, and the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pythaga's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Axioms.
Pythaga is ranked 231,047th in the world and 7,130th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 24.6143245246 days.
