The Queen's State of Pemberton is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.186 billion Pembertonians 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.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business, outspoken individuals is solely concerned with Industry. Income tax is unheard of.

The powerhouse Pembertonian economy, worth 691 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 34,270 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 129,531 per year while the poor average 6,308, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, none has been named as Pemberton's national religion, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Pemberton's national animal is the deer and its national religion is none.

Pemberton is ranked 62,421st in the world and 9th in Long Island for Most Stationary, with 753.1186846704 days.
