The Armed Republic of Purisect is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 2.829 billion Purisectians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rence. The average income tax rate is 89.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Purisectian economy, worth 367 trillion Separats a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,736 Separats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, nobility is the world's oldest profession, superfoods are often seen as supervillains, and television executives are interested in turning Leader's zany home life into a sitcom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Purisect's national animal is the Canis dirus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Purisect is ranked 9,445^th in the world and 125^th in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,864.69 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
