The Jewish-Thuanese Theocracy of Pilares is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Rabbi Peter Montgomerick with a fair hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, pith helmet sales, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.667 billion Pilarians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Georgia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Pilaresian economy, worth 461 trillion Swords a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 125,905 Swords, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, elections demand a proportionate response, the nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, and weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pilares's national animal is the Sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Judaism.

Pilares is ranked 60,591^st in the world and 5^th in Brasil1 for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,513.34 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
