The Overseer of Pumpkin King is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Pumpkin King with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.043 billion Pumpkin Kingians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pumpkin Patch. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Pumpkin Kingian economy, worth 336 trillion squashes a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 66,649 squashes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pumpkin King's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.

Pumpkin King is ranked 83,577th in the world and 1st in The Land of Cakes Biscuits and Tea for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
