The Pantokratic Dominate of Emperor Pudu is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Pudu Jilang Dengmu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, flagrant waste-dumping, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.739 billion Pudites 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.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hollarum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Pudite economy, worth a remarkable 5,609 trillion gold crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 182,493 gold crowns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 604,395 per year while the poor average 41,159, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.
The nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, the nation's faithful often say there is a higher power watching over them, the act of reporting blasphemy is known as 'Orthodoxxing', and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Emperor Pudu's national animal is the red-crested crane, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is the Church of the Anukai.
Emperor Pudu is ranked 7,528th in the world and 385th in Balder for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 92.27 Effective Tax Rate.
