The Protectorate of Pyannarba is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, avowedly heterosexual populace, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, devout population of 2.616 billion Pyannarbans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 37.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pyannarban economy, worth 239 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,646 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, all screens are equal but some are more equal than others, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and legend has it Leader's shower singing echoes through the halls of government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pyannarba's national animal is the ptarmigan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pyannarba is ranked 254,240^th in the world and 8^th in New Yanxi for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
