The Workers-Ecological State of Psuke is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Revolutionary Committee with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and strictly enforced bedtime. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 13.137 billion Psukeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial Harbor. The average income tax rate is 35.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Psukean economy, worth a remarkable 2,480 trillion credits 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. 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 188,788 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The WhoTube comments section has gone strangely quiet, former weapons designers now boast about their non-jamming semi-automatic nail guns, meetings involving club finances are frequently broken up by men in black suits, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Psuke's national animal is the Sturgeon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Psukean Orthodox Church.

Psuke is ranked 24,877th in the world and 145th in Forest for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,950.01 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
