The Matriarchy of PlanetPunk is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dark Lord with a fair hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The democratic population of 1.903 billion Punkers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Punkium. The average income tax rate is 19.0%.

The PlanetPunkian economy, worth 204 trillion Bonks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,600 Bonks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

A division of tanks navigating "as the crow flies" has driven into a ravine, military spending is on the increase, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through PlanetPunk, and a small country is wondering where their capitol building's gold dome went. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. PlanetPunk's national animal is the Slug, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

PlanetPunk is ranked 75,137^th in the world and 3,718^th in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,973.3 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
