The State of Pettigrew Royal is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.157 billion Pettigrew Royalians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong Pettigrew Royalian economy, worth 912 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 39,412 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 267,956 per year while the poor average 2,117, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, voting is voluntary, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Pettigrew Royal's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pettigrew Royal is ranked 289,793^rd in the world and 9^th in Maseru for Lowest Crime Rates, with 32.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
