The Kingdom of Pretoa is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 320 million Pretoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 34.7%.

The Pretoan economy, worth 17.7 trillion Poasileds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 55,215 Poasileds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is in perpetual campaign mode, supervisors in Pretoa commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, billions of Poasileds are being poured into a space program, and all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pretoa's national animal is the Komodo Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pretoa is ranked 168,459^th in the world and 55^th in Southern Forest for Smartest Citizens, with 27.52 quips per hour.
