The Loving Couple of -Pride-Month is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Hunter with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, feral children, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 9.238 billion -Pride-Monthians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Noceda Residence. The average income tax rate is 69.2%.

The frighteningly efficient -Pride-Monthian economy, worth a remarkable 1,040 trillion snails a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 112,620 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Grim instructresses lead the unwillingly impregnated in chants of "it's all my fault" and "blessed be the fruit", customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit, and the new Really Big Telescope has been praised for presenting pictures of bright dots in unprecedented detail. 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 and its national religion is Cards.

-Pride-Month is ranked 282,784^th in the world and 50^th in Eastern Europe for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 328.07 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
