The BAD LUCK of Pterodaxtyl is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dax Lacerta-Vytherov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 14.062 billion Dumbasses are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magicant. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Daxtastic economy, worth 848 trillion corn flakes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 60,307 corn flakes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 317,182 per year while the poor average 6,120, a ratio of 51.8 to 1.

Late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, millions of simultaneously backfiring toilets have flooded Magicant with effluent, and being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pterodaxtyl's national animal is the The Archduke's Toucans and Froot loops, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Carl.

Pterodaxtyl is ranked 21,469^th in the world and 24^th in The Black Hawks for Largest Black Market, with 143 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
