The Halloween Lovers of Pumpkinland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Tony Robinson with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, parental licensing program, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 21.282 billion Pumpkinlandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qamishli. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Pumpkinlandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,049 trillion Kuroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 143,299 Kuroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 457,236 per year while the poor average 34,141, a ratio of 13.4 to 1.

Teenage girls worry that they'll be unpopular if their skirts aren't short enough, kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes, the 'sing-a-long with Tony Robinson' album is a popular souvenir, and executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pumpkinland's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pumpkinland is ranked 13,680th in the world and 9th in New Bilderberg Group for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
