The Allied States of Pultis is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Favonicus Silvius Augurinus with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.272 billion Pultians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Administration, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valentia. The average income tax rate is 27.9%.

The powerhouse Pultar economy, worth 106 trillion gold bars a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 83,467 gold bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech, taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pultis's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pultis is ranked 280,412^th in the world and 537^th in Aeternum for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.44 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
