The Confederacy of Pearson Specter Litt is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12.372 billion Pearson Specter Littians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The thriving Pearson Specter Littian economy, worth 924 trillion deniers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 74,712 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 264,457 per year while the poor average 15,239, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Pearson Specter Litt's national animal is the sheep, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pearson Specter Litt is ranked 144,917^th in the world and 18^th in The waiting room of matheo for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
