The Republic of PS4 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.312 billion PS4ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 50.9%.

The PS4ian economy, worth 116 trillion deniers 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 Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 50,369 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, SWAT teams raid bathrooms in search of bathtub gin, people invite random old men into their homes to play with their kids, and glamping PS4ians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PS4's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

PS4 is ranked 89,936^th in the world and 4,856^th in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,807.37 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
