The Loving Couple of -PrideMonth is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Eda with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.244 billion -PrideMonthians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Epiderm. The average income tax rate is 54.5%.

The frighteningly efficient -PrideMonthian economy, worth a remarkable 1,141 trillion snails a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 123,456 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', pawn shop reality shows dominate basic cable, for just a few extra snails -PrideMonthians can get new driving records with their new cars, and nursing mothers are often arrested for indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -PrideMonth's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

-PrideMonth is ranked 20,831^st in the world and 1^st in Silly for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,265.1 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
