The State of Pattullo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its smutty television and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 34.152 billion Pattulloans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The powerhouse Pattulloan economy, worth a remarkable 1,675 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 49,045 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 163,242 per year while the poor average 10,980, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Military funding has been stripped back, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, and Pattullo has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Pattullo's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pattullo is ranked 47,944th in the world and 5th in Vietnam for Most Stationary, with 922.35907635648 days.
