The Workers-Ecological State of Psuke is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Revolutionary Committee with an even hand, and renowned for its digital currency, avant-garde cinema, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 13.117 billion Psukeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial Harbor. The average income tax rate is 29.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Psukean economy, worth a remarkable 2,540 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 193,650 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Psuke's national animal is the Sturgeon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Psukean Orthodox Church.

Psuke is ranked 2,069^th in the world and 31^st in Forest for Most Cultured, scoring 261 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
