The Queen's State of PS is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.291 billion PSians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 6.4%.

The powerhouse PSian economy, worth 849 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 44,017 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, voting is voluntary, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and PS has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. PS's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

PS is ranked 118,773^rd in the world and 49^th in Omega Prime for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
