The State of Pukaskwan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.931 billion Pukaskwanians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The strong Pukaskwanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,007 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 36,084 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and Pukaskwan is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pukaskwan's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pukaskwan is ranked 248,358^th in the world and 5^th in Bonn for Lowest Crime Rates, with 52.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
