The PS2 Puppet of Pterodoria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Someone with an iron fist, and renowned for its feral children, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.317 billion Pterodorians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pterodoria City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Pterodorian economy, worth a remarkable 8,334 trillion Pteralurias a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 582,134 Pteralurias, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,452,631 per year while the poor average 5,236, a ratio of 1,041 to 1.

The nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Someone in ermine and velvet garb, Pterodorians wonder "if a tree falls in the woods with no credible witnesses, who wants to know?", all streets are privately owned toll roads, and the entire entry for Pterodoria in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless'. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Pterodoria's national animal is the Pterodactyl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Business.

Pterodoria is ranked 233,506^th in the world and 7,788^th in the South Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -110.09 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
