The Republic of Pontbridge is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Stylesjl with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 36.711 billion Pontbridgers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pontbridge. The average income tax rate is 19.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Pontbridger economy, worth an astonishing 19,690 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 536,354 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, structures are raised on promises, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, and Eagle populations thrive as dogs are slaughtered in the millions. Crime is totally unknown. Pontbridge's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pontbridge is ranked 203^rd in the world and 3^rd in Pontbridge Islands for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 433,374.52 Standard Monetary Units.
