The Pink holy Christmas of Puff Mains is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.393 billion Mains are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse revolutionary economy, worth 146 trillion candy cane gold bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 104,845 candy cane gold bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Keeping the lights on keeps the lights on for increasing amounts of Mains, the government is proudly free of crabs, pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, and the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Puff Mains's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Athyism.

Puff Mains is ranked 270,263rd in the world and 349th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,762.93 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
