The Community of The Pumpkin Patch is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and punitive income tax rates. The democratic, devout population of 14 million Pumpkin Patchians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 59.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The developing Pumpkin Patchian economy, worth 343 billion Pumpkins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,501 Pumpkins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Pumpkin Patch's national animal is the Black Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Pumpkin Patch is ranked 154,367^th in the world and 7^th in The Loosely Aligned Nations of Cullowhee for Smartest Citizens, with 29.36 quips per hour.
