The Workers-Ecological State of Psuke is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Revolutionary Committee with an even hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 13.111 billion Psukeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial Harbor. The average income tax rate is 29.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Psukean economy, worth a remarkable 2,535 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 193,355 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and the government has declared that too much democracy gets in the way of sensible leadership. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Psuke's national animal is the Sturgeon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Psukean Orthodox Church.

Psuke is ranked 3,990th in the world and 34th in Forest for Highest Poor Incomes, with 176,467.21 Standard Monetary Units.
