The Left Libertarian Paradise of Pretty Awesome Persons is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Isabella Van Nistelrooy II with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.419 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Madrid. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing.

The nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The New Madrid Times is sold out, schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, and all-natural foods are becoming a major fad. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pretty Awesome Persons's national animal is the Longcat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Awesome £.

Pretty Awesome Persons is ranked 381st in Region Inc and 97,649th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -31 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
