The Ever-Expanding Empire of Pseudocholinesterase is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Quick B Fox with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, cynical population of 8.393 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as the Environment and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Visco City. The average income tax rate is 96%. 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.

Society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, and the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pseudocholinesterase's national animal is the Castor, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Born Again Christianity, and its currency is the Docho.

Pseudocholinesterase is ranked 5th in St Abbaddon and 3,019th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 76 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
