The Empire of Pullenstein is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 45.921 billion Pullensteinians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The tiny, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Education, although Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pullenstein City. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Pullensteinian economy, worth an astonishing 17,025 trillion marks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 370,760 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, the health budget has been diverted into prolonging Leader's life, billions of marks are spent to take high-quality photos of the Tiger Nebula, and manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition. Crime is totally unknown. Pullenstein's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Pullenstein is ranked 8,982nd in the world and 472nd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 124 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
