The Grand Duchy of Puntiana is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Grand Duke Ernest II and the people with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.025 billion Puntianans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Puntianan economy, worth a remarkable 1,834 trillion denars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,829 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dog is one of the most popular forenames in Puntiana, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and the government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health. Crime is totally unknown. Puntiana's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Puntiana is ranked 46,029^th in the world and 1,019^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
