The Queendom of Public Education is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, smutty television, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.106 billion Public Educationians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Education, although Industry and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Public Transport aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Public Educationian economy, worth 387 trillion GPAS 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Retail, Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 75,937 GPAS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The owl has a hungry look, left-wing militias train children how to properly burn down banks, scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished, and aggressive promotion of global warming puts polar bears on thin ice. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Public Education's national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Public Education is ranked 255,834^th in the world and 14^th in Stats for Lowest Crime Rates, with 48.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
