“From Many, One”

The State of Psikh is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 11.819 billion Psikhians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.6%.

The strong Psikhian economy, worth 709 trillion betales a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 59,991 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 194,590 per year while the poor average 13,953, a ratio of 13.9 to 1.

Military spending is on the increase, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, tuba players are paid to quietly whisper into their instruments, and Psikh has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Psikh's national animal is the deer.

Psikh is ranked 153,505^th in the world and 1^st in Pacific Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
