The State of 1600 Pennsylvania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 38.66 billion Wingers are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Welfare, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The powerhouse 1600 Pennsylvanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,864 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 48,215 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 139,636 per year while the poor average 13,193, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, 1600 Pennsylvania has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of 1600 Pennsylvania in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. 1600 Pennsylvania's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

1600 Pennsylvania is ranked 248,951^st in the world and 400^th in United States of America for Lowest Crime Rates, with 52.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
