The Commonwealth of Pentaloo is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Yammy Buttons with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.254 billion Pentalooans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pentagon Port. The average income tax rate is 53.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Pentalooan economy, worth 350 trillion forums a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,400 forums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Yammy Buttons's bedroom, in a baffling press conference Yammy Buttons proudly dismantled a broken door, surfing lessons include how to ward off sharks, and excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pentaloo's national animal is the starfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Pentaloo is ranked 24,183^rd in the world and 5^th in The Potato Union for Highest Food Quality, scoring 103.18 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
