The Protectorate of Pumpty Dumpty is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.871 billion Weeping Farmers are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Third Best Capital. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.8%.

The powerhouse Weeping Farmer economy, worth 390 trillion stock crashes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,609 stock crashes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 286,231 per year while the poor average 4,109, a ratio of 69.7 to 1.

Policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', innocent people are routinely stoned to death by frenzied lynch mobs, garden stores are not allowed to sell water butts, and unused plastic recycling bins are being dumped into landfills by the tonne. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Pumpty Dumpty's national animal is the MV hunter, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pumpty Dumpty is ranked 73,066th in the world and 5th in The Cardtel for Most Stationary, with 647.0112873014 days.
