The frighteningly efficient Pentrocian economy, worth a remarkable 1,901 trillion Edges a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 178,397 Edges, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, three extra hay bales are rolled into Pentrocy's gold vaults every year, diplomats miss flights while wandering North Vita Airport's endless art maze, and forgotten trend connoisseurs turn their nose at one wrinkle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pentrocy's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Voiaism.
