The Halloween Lovers of Pumpkinland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Tony Robinson with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 21.188 billion Pumpkinlandians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qamishli. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Pumpkinlandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,020 trillion Kuroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 142,538 Kuroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 458,453 per year while the poor average 33,566, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.
Soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pumpkinland's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Pumpkinland is ranked 182,049th in the world and 28th in New Bilderberg Group for Most Stationary, with 74.36854962632 days.
