The State of Pro Pelle Cutem is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.374 billion Pro Pelle Cutemians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Education, Public Transport, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The strong Pro Pelle Cutemian economy, worth a remarkable 1,142 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 56,059 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 313,472 per year while the poor average 4,986, a ratio of 62.9 to 1.

Pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, the jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism, and school children across the country are staging hunger strikes to protest government-mandated salads. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Pro Pelle Cutem's national animal is the reindeer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pro Pelle Cutem is ranked 246,642^nd in the world and 1^st in Hudson Bay for Nicest Citizens, with 9.76 average smiles per day.
