The Republic of The Pteranodons is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, digital currency, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 540 million Pteranodonsians 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 relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 18.2%.

The Pteranodonsian economy, worth 28.3 trillion Golden dinos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 52,369 Golden dinos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of The Pteranodons City. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Pteranodons's national animal is the Pteranodon.

The Pteranodons is ranked 171,989^th in the world and 4^th in Drakonheimist for Most Extreme, scoring 17.33 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
