The Kingdom of Saint Pinole II is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 483 million Pinolians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaleponi Hou. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Pinolian economy, worth 42.6 trillion Daimana Kalas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,208 Daimana Kalas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, and a lot of number one hits are straight cover versions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Pinole II's national animal is the Bea ʻeleʻele, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saint Pinole II is ranked 211,488^th in the world and 60^th in NATO 2022 for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 49.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
