The Loving Couple of -Pride-Month is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Hunter with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.356 billion -Pride-Monthians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Noceda Residence. The average income tax rate is 68.1%.

The frighteningly efficient -Pride-Monthian economy, worth 577 trillion snails a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 107,817 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

They say that -Pride-Monthians made a dessert and called it peace, sheep-like political loyalists repeat the mantra "one wheel bad, three wheels good", hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, and citizens worry more about a split end than their deceased parent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Pride-Month's national animal is the owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.

-Pride-Month is ranked 15,857th in the world and 2nd in Eastern Europe for Most Patriotic, with 57.31 flags saluted per person per day.
