The District of Picket Fence is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 14.073 billion Picket Fenceans 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 47.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Picket Fencean economy, worth 482 trillion districtas a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 34,270 districtas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, organ donation is compulsory, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and Picket Fence has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Picket Fence's national animal is the quick pink fox.

Picket Fence is ranked 77,965th in the world and 7th in Edinburgh for Most Stationary, with 621.40833840952 days.
