The Postman of Postman Pat is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.312 billion Postman Patians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greendale. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Postman Patian economy, worth a remarkable 1,160 trillion Letters a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 218,516 Letters, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, and billions of Letters are being blown on orbital weapons development. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Postman Pat's national animal is the Black and White Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Postman Pat is ranked 20,418^th in the world and 5^th in Nerdlandia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,965.45 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
