The Loving Couple of PrideMonth- is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Gus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.213 billion PrideMonth-ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gravesfield. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient PrideMonth-ian economy, worth 983 trillion snails a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 106,726 snails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The revelation that people were sexist in the past is apparently front page news, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, carpal tunnel syndrome is on the rise, and amusement park rides frequently collapse due to lack of maintenance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PrideMonth-'s national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

PrideMonth- is ranked 17,334^th in the world and 2^nd in Florida for Most Cultured, scoring 92 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
