The Queen's State of Ptolo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 36.218 billion Ptoloans 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 tiny, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Law & Order, although Industry and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The powerhouse Ptoloan economy, worth a remarkable 1,816 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 50,163 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 177,563 per year while the poor average 10,232, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

It is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs, education and welfare spending are on the rise, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime is a problem. Ptolo's national animal is the deer.

Ptolo is ranked 148,592^nd in the world and 332^nd in State for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,880.92 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
