The Kingdom of Saint Pinole II is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 420 million Pinolians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaleponi Hou. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.7%.

The Pinolian economy, worth 30.8 trillion Daimana Kalas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,341 Daimana Kalas, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", the bum of Leader has been voted the most recognisable in Saint Pinole II, Saint Pinole II shot first, and the roundel of the Pinolian Air Force has become an internationally recognized symbol of destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Pinole II's national animal is the Bea ʻeleʻele, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saint Pinole II is ranked 261,897^th in the world and 72^nd in NATO 2022 for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.31 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
