The Grand Duchy of Puntiana is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Grand Duke Ernest II and the people with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.09 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 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Puntianan economy, worth a remarkable 1,818 trillion denars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,901 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, and players panic as they discover the newest chain can reset their populations and even delete their nations (Puntiana has found 2 easter eggs). Crime is totally unknown. Puntiana's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Puntiana is ranked 12,897^th in the world and 291^st in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,936.99 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
