The Oh Sugar of Pettycakes is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 10.756 billion Pettycakesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 28.8%.

The very strong Pettycakesian economy, worth 676 trillion Platinums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,872 Platinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Town welcome signs list corporate sponsors, parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children, farmers trade ploughshares for swords when military sortition puts them in charge of regiments, and government officials are held to the highest standard of morality. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pettycakes's national animal is the Python, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pettycakes is ranked 183,828^th in the world and 12^th in The Coalition of Democratic Nations for Most Primitive, scoring -72.78 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
