The Free Land of Pettyland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Cuteness Council with a fair hand, and notable for its digital currency, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.272 billion Pettypulpa hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Petty City. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Petty economy, worth 105 trillion pettypoints a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,935 pettypoints, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, and even secular Pettypulpa are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pettyland's national animal is the pettysap, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aesthetic Reenvision.

Pettyland is ranked 76,325^th in the world and 730^th in the Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 82,935.59 Standard Monetary Units.
