The Dictatorship of Pinesnon is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Benjamin with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.461 billion Pinesnonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rodrom. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pinesnonian economy, worth 546 trillion Binates a year, is broadly diversified and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,811 Binates, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

After every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow, the jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, and medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pinesnon's national animal is the Banshee, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Supreme Leader Benjamin.

Pinesnon is ranked 120,239th in the world and 149th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 122.69 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
