The Empire of Psikuta is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.849 billion Psikutans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Psikutan economy, worth 952 trillion Kellers a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 196,396 Kellers, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, the news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears, and sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Psikuta's national animal is the Pitbull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Psikuta is ranked 203,340^th in the world and 6,357^th in the West Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.92 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
