The Tranquil Sitting of Pirate Pete is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 30.965 billion Immortals are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Pirate Petean economy, worth 692 trillion fluffy clemmies a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Basket Weaving industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 22,364 fluffy clemmies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, surveillance cameras are banned, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, and the study of medicine is popular throughout Pirate Pete. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pirate Pete's national animal is the crack fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pirate Pete is ranked 60,690^th in the world and 1^st in Taoism for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,669.92 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
