The Theocracy of Poutsh is a fledgling, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, cynical population of 5 million Poutshians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The relatively small, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.
The very strong Poutshian economy, worth 276 billion Sandwiches a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 55,371 Sandwiches, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 209,283 per year while the poor average 10,192, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.
Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Poutsh's national animal is the Wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
