The Dominion of Pugopolus is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.091 billion Pugopolusians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Pug City. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pugopolusian economy, worth 107 trillion Borks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,320 Borks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, and space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Pugopolus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pugopolus's national animal is the Pug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pugopolus is ranked 105,731^st in the world and 647^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Economic Output, with 107 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
