The Loving Couple of Pride Month is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Raine with an iron fist, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, ritual sacrifices, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.184 billion Pride Monthians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, although Education, Defense, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emperors Castle. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Pride Monthian economy, worth a remarkable 1,040 trillion snails a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 113,316 snails, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 550,670 per year while the poor average 13,467, a ratio of 40.9 to 1.

Burglary is widely regarded as the national sport, safe drinking water is considered a luxury, the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled Pride Month with a very polite populace, and anniversaries of major historical events pass unnoticed. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pride Month's national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

Pride Month is ranked 214,227^th in the world and 7^th in The DankLeft Commune for Fattest Citizens, with 8.98 Obesity Rate.
