The Loving Couple of -Pride Month is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Boscha with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 9.166 billion -Pride Monthians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eclipse Lake. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.1%.

The frighteningly efficient -Pride Monthian economy, worth 974 trillion snails a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 106,355 snails, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts, bilingual -Pride Monthians are viewed with suspicion, being dead no longer has any benefits, and animal control is going door-to-door releasing all pets back into the wild. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Pride Month's national animal is the owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Cards.

-Pride Month is ranked 31,724th in the world and 2nd in The Mob for Most Cultured, scoring 78 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
