The Republic of PS-01 is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its enforced nudity, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.569 billion PS-01ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.4%.

The strong PS-01ian economy, worth 89.1 trillion currencies 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 Retail, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. 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 56,813 currencies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 216,776 per year while the poor average 10,301, a ratio of 21.0 to 1.

The police have nothing to do with the increasing number of 'disappeared', PS-01ians caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. PS-01's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

PS-01 is ranked 319,108^th in the world and 24^th in Peacelandia Sioretia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.28 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
