The Social Entity of The P is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 19.515 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

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 Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Genopolis. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, citizens wishing to leave the country must surrender half their wealth to the government, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The P's national animal is the kitten, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the pone.

The P is ranked 3rd in Caballete Equus and 5,850th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 56 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
