The Singularity of Bouncepot is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Albert Qaliž with a fair hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.542 billion Pelsaquians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Garwizwill. The average income tax rate is 51.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pelsaqui economy, worth 237 trillion Harts a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,583 Harts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Albert Qaliž lights cigars with a hundred-Hart bill, racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bouncepot's national animal is the Garf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

Bouncepot is ranked 20,479^th in the world and 423^rd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 6,052.77 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
