The Grand Duchy of Puntiana is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grand Duke Ernest II and the people with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.363 billion Puntianans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Puntianan economy, worth a remarkable 1,993 trillion denars a year, is quite specialized and 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 138,768 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One can wake up in Puntiana and have breakfast in Bigtopia, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, pranking is an art form, and unemployed school bus drivers photobomb virtual classroom meetings. Crime is totally unknown. Puntiana's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Puntiana is ranked 54,873^rd in the world and 864^th in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,475.83 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
