The City-State of Pseudogotham is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Batgirl Wednesday Addams with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 18.424 billion Pseudogothamians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gotham Pseudocityvilleburgh. The average income tax rate is 90.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Pseudogothamian economy, worth a remarkable 3,175 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 172,341 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Pseudogothamians firmly believe that their heroes never farted or popped their pimples, women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job, the government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake", and recent converts to Pseudointellectualism are just doing it for the love of the game. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pseudogotham's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Pseudointellectualism.

Pseudogotham is ranked 5,422nd in the world and 1st in Cielo for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 7,968.67 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
