The Promethium of Pm is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.651 billion Pmians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pm City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Pmian economy, worth a remarkable 3,809 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,196 Golds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 476,122 per year while the poor average 47,511, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, and meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pm's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a major religion.

Pm is ranked 72,518th in the world and 1,606th in Lazarus for Highest Drug Use, scoring 225.65 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
