The Empire of Psikuta is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory vegetarianism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 10.388 billion Psikutans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 39.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Psikutan economy, worth a remarkable 2,488 trillion Kellers a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 239,569 Kellers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, unprotected royals have replaced their corgis with rottweilers, nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, and relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly. Crime is totally unknown. Psikuta's national animal is the Pitbull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Psikuta is ranked 11,098^th in the world and 200^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 387 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
