The Colony of Pinehurst Islands is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.44 billion Pinehurst Islanders are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 46.9%.

The strong Pinehurst Islands economy, worth a remarkable 1,228 trillion lire a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 46,479 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Mouldy bread is served as an appetizer in many restaurants, more money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, the "right of sanctuary" stops police pursuit into temples and churches, and the judicial system legislates morality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pinehurst Islands's national animal is the pine tree, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pinehurst Islands is ranked 184,059^th in the world and 4^th in Northwest Isles for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 702.91 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
