The Republic of Peoplestasine is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister James Jamison with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 1.958 billion Peoplestasineans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Drammen. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Peoplestasinean economy, worth 176 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,901 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, and the flight attendant who draws the short straw is on "cockpit bucket duty". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peoplestasine's national animal is the Red fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Peoplestasine is ranked 52,078^th in the world and 587^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 142.9 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
