The Empire of Pullenstein is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 47.707 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, with Defense, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. 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 17,793 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 372,974 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, and political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions. Crime is totally unknown. Pullenstein's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pullenstein is ranked 2,630^th in the world and 154^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 132.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
