The Third Doctor of Jon Pertwee is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by The Third Doctor with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.737 billion Gallifreyans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of UNIT HQ. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Gallifreyan economy, worth 702 trillion sonic screwdrivers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 104,322 sonic screwdrivers, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Contestants on Jon Pertwee's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, dessert dishes make up the Gallifreyan breakfast menu, self defense is just as despicable as armed robbery, and girl scouts are forced to bake their own cookies. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jon Pertwee's national animal is the sea devil and its national religion is Science.

Jon Pertwee is ranked 125,059^th in the world and 14^th in The Doctors for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,872.33 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
