------>IN A RANDOM ENCYCLIPEDIA...<------------

Pieland    (pi'-land)
A monarchy with a population of about 100 pies in Illinois. Smallest country in
the world. Highly admired for its abolishment of prisons. Curiously, it seems
the higher the crime rate gets in Pieland, the larger the revenue it earns from  
its chief export, pies.
