The Imperial Kingdom of Pauldustllah is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by His Royal Magesty Eric the 12th with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 34.999 billion Pauldustllahanis enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Farpoint. The average income tax rate is 21.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pauldustllahani economy, worth a remarkable 8,187 trillion Dusties a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 233,938 Dusties, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Proprietary charger leads are now a pain for electric cars as well as cellphones, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, politicians look weirdly alike, and Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pauldustllah's national animal is the spider monkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is none.

Pauldustllah is ranked 286,951^st in the world and 36^th in Greater Ixnay for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -48.17 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
