The Empire of Pullenstein is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 46.138 billion Pullensteinians 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 tiny, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Education, although Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pullenstein City. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Pullensteinian economy, worth an astonishing 17,072 trillion marks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 370,028 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Political commentators say that Leader's fruitcake plans are about to go pear-shaped, visiting the best Pullensteinian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, and the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet. Crime is totally unknown. Pullenstein's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Pullenstein is ranked 7,052nd in the world and 387th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 13,096.02 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
