The Workers-Ecological State of Psuke is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Revolutionary Committee with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 13.105 billion Psukeans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial Harbor. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Psukean economy, worth a remarkable 2,527 trillion credits 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 Information Technology, Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 an impressive 192,853 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc, heavily stoned police officers are unsure whether the recent directive to 'clean up the streets' means arresting drug dealers or hosing down the sidewalk, hardline members of the Red Bloc consider Revolutionary Committee a filthy revisionist traitor, and police officers have nearly cracked a major underage astronomy syndicate. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Psuke's national animal is the Sturgeon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Psukean Orthodox Church.

Psuke is ranked 2,622nd in the world and 31st in Forest for Most Developed, scoring 97.63 on the Human Development Index.
