The Republic of Purarastarder is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its hatred of cheese, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 10.332 billion Purarastarderians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Purarastarderian economy, worth 126 trillion marks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 12,203 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purarastarder's national animal is the sheep.

Purarastarder is ranked 157,325^th in the world and 3^rd in The United Nations of the Atlantic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
