The Pink holy Christmas of Puff Mains is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 1.506 billion Mains are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming revolutionary economy, worth 162 trillion candy cane gold bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 107,943 candy cane gold bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and anyone with an emergency on a holy day is advised to pray harder. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Puff Mains's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Athyism.

Puff Mains is ranked 51,921^st in the world and 92^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 5,230.56 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
