The Spudtacular Matriarchy of Pulsroth is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Laura Hickling-Norder SM with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.821 billion Pulsrothites are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Forsinard. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Pulsrothi economy, worth a remarkable 3,793 trillion Pulse Shillings a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 201,574 Pulse Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The caged-bird trade is singing, prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos, the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, and prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pulsroth's national animal is the Wenlock Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Té Tara.

Pulsroth is ranked 289,102^nd in the world and 137^th in Spiritus for Most Primitive, scoring -613.66 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
