The Third Doctor of Jon Pertwee is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by The Third Doctor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.107 billion Gallifreyans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of UNIT HQ. The average income tax rate is 37.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Gallifreyan economy, worth 725 trillion sonic screwdrivers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,016 sonic screwdrivers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Gallifreyans incessantly needle their doctors for relief, summer science camps are regularly raided by narcotics police, overly distant dads are conscripted into national nappy service, and parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jon Pertwee's national animal is the sea devil, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans, and its national religion is Science.

Jon Pertwee is ranked 119,373rd in the world and 16th in The Doctors for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 648.7 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
