The Protectorate of Pyxie is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Consort Aconite with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.006 billion Pyxieans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mershugold Lake. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Pyxiean economy, worth 404 trillion gold pieces a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,042 gold pieces, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, and cigarettes are dead-cheap. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pyxie's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Originism.
Pyxie is ranked 9,365th in the world and 488th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 122 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
