The Dominion of Piggie Palace is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 302 million Swines are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Swine. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.9%.

The all-consuming Piggie Palacean economy, worth 33.3 trillion Swines a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 110,121 Swines, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 797,952 per year while the poor average 4,807, a ratio of 166 to 1.

Leader is going to the moon, everybody's got wood thanks to Leader, much of Piggie Palace's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, and a Paradise Everywhere Tourist Association survey has rated Piggie Palace #1 for number twos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Piggie Palace's national animal is the Swine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Piggie Palace is ranked 6,729^th in the world and 1^st in Paradise Everywhere for Fattest Citizens, with 21.79 Obesity Rate.
