The Dictatorship of George Patton is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Patton with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 8.334 billion Pattonians 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, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Camp Pendelton. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient George Pattonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,766 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 211,949 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, General Patton is plotting to coup the Pacific (George Patton has found 5 easter eggs), police officers catch up on their paperwork while handing their caseload to PIs, and where there's smoke there's the George Pattonian Forestry Department. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. George Patton's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is War.

George Patton is ranked 111,616^th in the world and 5,182^nd in Lazarus for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,754.55 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
