The Workers-Ecological State of Psuke is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Revolutionary Committee with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory gun ownership, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 13.194 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 39.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Psukean economy, worth a remarkable 2,486 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, and Retail. 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 188,479 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, every school is receiving a brand new eraser, kids laugh off vandalism and arson as "just fun", and Revolutionary Committee can often be found attempting to coax random citizens' cats down from trees. Crime, especially youth-related, is 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 3,274^th in the world and 48^th in Forest for Nicest Citizens, with 57 average smiles per day.
