The PS2 Puppet of Pterodoria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Someone with an even hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, free-roaming dinosaurs, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.995 billion Pterodorians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business 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 8,982 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 599,053 Pteralurias, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,611,124 per year while the poor average 5,388, a ratio of 1,041 to 1.

Psychological disorders are a taboo subject, governments opposing Pterodoria are beset by rebels, orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, and Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Pterodoria as a reminder of their "special relationship". 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 13^th in the world and 1^st in the South Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 99.27 Obesity Rate.
