The United Pineslavic Peoples of Republic of Pine is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Iva Aruväli with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, conspicuous electricity pylons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.135 billion Piners 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Männilinn. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pineslavic economy, worth a remarkable 1,238 trillion Trade Tokens a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,636 Trade Tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", Pineslavic military drills look more like joint-The Democratika exercises than anything else, windows in Männilinn don't have much of a view, and restaurants cater to pregnancy cravings. Crime is well under control. Republic of Pine's national animal is the Alpine Ibex, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Piner-Orthodox.

Republic of Pine is ranked 6,667^th in the world and 3^rd in The Democratika for Highest Food Quality, scoring 179.95 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
