The Apostolic Peaks of Mount Pinefor is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Mallory Jr with an even hand, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, parental licensing program, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.783 billion Mount Pineforians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Basecamp City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Mount Pineforian economy, worth 342 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,012 Imperial Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 634,667 per year while the poor average 12,988, a ratio of 48.9 to 1.

Obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested, and over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mount Pinefor's national animal is the Yellow Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mount Pinefor is ranked 79,453^rd in the world and 2^nd in Windfrost Peaks for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 46,990.67 Standard Monetary Units.
