The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, with Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pullenstein City. Income tax is unheard of.

Average income is an amazing 352,286 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.
