The Power of Puce is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons and state-planned economy. The hard-working population of 44.805 billion Puceans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, International Aid, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 42.1%.

The Pucean economy, worth a remarkable 1,951 trillion scarabs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 43,565 scarabs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Puce's national animal is the beetle.

Puce is ranked 180,934^th in the world and 11^th in 100 Nations of Conquest for Most Corrupt Governments, with 2.77 kickbacks per hour.
