The Relational Database of PostgreSQL is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.167 billion PostgreSQLians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 86.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient PostgreSQLian economy, worth a remarkable 1,260 trillion leones a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,812 leones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending is on the increase, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", the beauty of coastal towns is marred only slightly by all the closed-down storefronts, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PostgreSQL's national animal is the ibis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

PostgreSQL is ranked 267,343rd in the world and 384th in Aetherius for Highest Drug Use, scoring 27.17 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
