The United States of Pichu23 is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Aidan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 13.532 billion Pichu23ians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, with Social Policy, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense and Industry receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pichu23 City. The average income tax rate is 57.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Pichu23ian economy, worth 93.3 trillion lolcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 6,893 lolcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Viagra factories are being converted to producing antimalarials for Bigtopian orphans, children of nonreligious parents are often barred from school festival events, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, and inflated egos go along with an inflated currency. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pichu23's national animal is the ambulance, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a major religion.

Pichu23 is ranked 299,311^th in the world and 40^th in Anime Nations Against Liberals for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring zero on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
