The Free Land of Pg is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its closed borders, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.878 billion Pgians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Pgian economy, worth a remarkable 1,026 trillion golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,577 golds, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

The "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games, the Treasury Minister takes anxiety medication every time kids lose their sports kits, the daily weather forecast often predicts light showers of debris, and golden statues of Elephants line the memorial avenues of the Funerary District. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pg's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pg is ranked 71,362nd in the world and 15th in United States of America for Highest Poor Incomes, with 42,039.8 Standard Monetary Units.
