The Spudtacular Matriarchy of Pulsroth is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Laura Hickling-Norder SM with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, aversion to nipples, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.132 billion Pulsrothites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Forsinard. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Pulsrothi economy, worth a remarkable 3,026 trillion Pulse Yen a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 200,028 Pulse Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign leaders with unpaid parking tickets are often refused entry, research into 'designer babies' is banned, brazen mayors claim official expenses to pay for their drug habits, and the parliament doubled in size recently. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pulsroth's national animal is the Wenlock Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Té Tara.

Pulsroth is ranked 204,315^th in the world and 129^th in Spiritus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.54 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
