The Delicious Pastry of Small Pumpkin Pie is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Alexandra Castille with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 15.291 billion Small Pumpkin Pieans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Creamy Center. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Small Pumpkin Piean economy, worth a remarkable 2,395 trillion common pies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 156,656 common pies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies". Crime is totally unknown. Small Pumpkin Pie's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Piethism.

Small Pumpkin Pie is ranked 16,783^rd in the world and 1^st in October for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,754.13 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
