The Commonwealth of -Puget is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Martin St John with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 24.898 billion Pugeters are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seattle. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The thriving Pugetese economy, worth a remarkable 2,100 trillion crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. Average income is 84,369 crowns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 245,137 per year while the poor average 22,981, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

A crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, and strategic economic sectors are controlled by the state. Crime is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. -Puget's national animal is the grizzly, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

-Puget is ranked 252,871^st in the world and 7^th in the Columbia River for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 40.11 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
