The Republic of PS-01 is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its parental licensing program, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.481 billion PS-01ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.3%.

The strong PS-01ian economy, worth 84.2 trillion currencies 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 Retail, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. 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 56,829 currencies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,665 per year while the poor average 10,241, a ratio of 21.3 to 1.

Solid steel breastplates are in fashion amongst city drivers, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, genetic research is temporarily tied up in government red tape, and male politicians lose their jobs for staring too long at their female counterparts. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. PS-01's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

PS-01 is ranked 319,185^th in the world and 9^th in Peacelandia Sioretia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.28 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
