The Revolution of Punk is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 19.342 billion Punkians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Punkian economy, worth a remarkable 2,887 trillion Golds 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 149,264 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, convicted crypto-miners are sent to the salt mines, and the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Punk's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Punk is ranked 12,712^th in the world and 2^nd in punk for Largest Black Market, with 368 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
