The Commonwealth of Pitnerland is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 86 million Pitnerlandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The strong Pitnerlandian economy, worth 5.85 trillion Jessens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 67,966 Jessens, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

All recreational drugs are legal, it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, military spending recently hit a new high, and punitive tariffs protect local industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Pitnerland's national animal is the Polar Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pitnerland is ranked 189,991^st in the world and 371^st in Refugia for Most Income Equality, scoring 17.88 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
