The Pink holy Christmas of Puff Mains is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 1.542 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 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient revolutionary economy, worth 171 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 is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 110,873 candy cane gold bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, the revolutionary delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, and military spending is on the increase. 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 18,233^rd in the world and 173^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Most Developed, scoring 87.55 on the Human Development Index.
