The Republic of PS4 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, prohibition of alcohol, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.342 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 49.5%.

The PS4ian economy, worth 121 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. 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 51,750 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Museums have more touchscreens on display than artifacts, no one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits, even secular PS4ians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", and it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom. 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 55,656th in the world and 2,664th in Lazarus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 558.93 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
