The Free Land of PyroFalkon is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 36 million PyroFalkonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped PyroFalkonian economy, worth 1.05 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming and Basket Weaving. Average income is 29,029 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and organisations with 800 in their phone number are often raided by special forces. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PyroFalkon's national animal is the domestic kitty, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

PyroFalkon is ranked 251,350^th in the world and 3,062^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 27.93 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
