The vast majority of Las Pineroes identify themselves as practitioners of magic, wherein 52% classify as mages, 13% classify as fairies, regardless of sex or gender, and the 35% remaining are a mix of elves and ordinary men. Mages looked like ordinary humans, but at times, their hair or eyes would turn different colors or move, according to their powers. Fairies did the same, except they had wings that became more beautiful as they grow up. Lastly, elves were tall humanoids with pointy ears, and neon-colored eyes.
Free Las Pinas is a highly developed, socialist nationstate, with a GDP of 151.0 trillion NationStates Dollars (135.9 trillion Las Pinero Hugs — not to be confused with physical hugs). This sets the GDP per capita at approximately 348,000 hugs. The socialist economy is planned by the AI, with checks by the Department of Labor, led by the Deputy Minister for Labor. The most prosperous industry is the art industry, wherein art museums within the country have among the most expensive artworks in existence, and wherein Las Pinero vexillologists have created dozens of flags, sculptures, and other imagery for foreign nations and regions. Other active industries include the dairies, retail, and book publishing. Most Las Pineroes join the workforce at age 21, as education until then is mandatory, and retire at age 55, as the young workforce and advanced technology allows for early retirement.
