The District of Pine Rose is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, complete lack of public education, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 24.177 billion Pine Roseans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The powerhouse Pine Rosean economy, worth 815 trillion districtas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 33,717 districtas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 124,026 per year while the poor average 6,479, a ratio of 19.1 to 1.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to Pine Rose's border, parking's carefree without parking car fees, the new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play, and councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Pine Rose's national animal is the quick pink fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pine Rose is ranked 80,309^th in the world and 1^st in Westminster for Smartest Citizens, with 38.69 quips per hour.
