The Empire of David S Pumpkin is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by David S Pumpkin with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.91 billion David S Pumpkinians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Studio 8H. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The all-consuming David S Pumpkinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,468 trillion Frights a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 105,566 Frights, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 537,748 per year while the poor average 11,437, a ratio of 47.0 to 1.

The government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, David S Pumpkin is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, and Skeletons that venture near secret military bases are routinely executed for espionage. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. David S Pumpkin's national animal is the Skeleton, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of the Jackolanterns.

David S Pumpkin is ranked 10,020th in the world and 11th in International Democratic Union for Most Stationary, with 2,343.0628407166 days.
