The Holy Pilgrimage of The Pilgrims in the Desert is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Fellow Pilgrim with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 8.401 billion Pilgrims 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 Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The City of Pilgrims. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Pilgrim economy, worth a remarkable 1,543 trillion ἀγάπηs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 183,683 ἀγάπηs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, the clergy of Catholicism remains a single-sex institution, the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, and the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Pilgrims in the Desert's national animal is the Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.
The Pilgrims in the Desert is ranked 44,363rd in the world and 20th in Catholic for Most Stationary, with 995.90733484112 days.
