The Pantokratic Dominate of Emporer Pudu is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Pudu Jilang Ming with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, vat-grown people, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 39.977 billion Pudites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hollarum. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Pudite economy, worth an astonishing 22,153 trillion gold crowns a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is a breathtaking 554,163 gold crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

People forget to eat because they are too busy singing Emperor Pudu Jilang Ming's praises, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, homesickness is thought to be a waterborne illness, and forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Emporer Pudu's national animal is the red-crested crane, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Church of the Anukai.

Emporer Pudu is ranked 4,188^th in the world and 2^nd in The Dark Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 120.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
