Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Empire of Pullenstein is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its suspicion of poets. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 22.302 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Defence and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pullenstein City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Information Technology and Tourism.

Crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, and the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pullenstein's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the mark.

Pullenstein is ranked 2,922nd in Balder and 131,879th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -458 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
