The United States of Pratik Basu is a massive, devout nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 3.204 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parkesine. The average income tax rate is 67%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

All-natural foods are becoming a major fad, an enormous health awareness programme is underway, people have to sneak out of the country in order to have sex, and a spate of enforced closures has left 'Government FM' as the nation's only radio station. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pratik Basu's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Dollar.

Pratik Basu is ranked 27th in Community of Independent Nations and 117,736th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 7 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
