The Demsoc republic of Bouncepot is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Albert Qâlyž with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The democratic population of 1.32 billion Pelsaquis love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Malquizõ. The average income tax rate is 26.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Pelsaqui economy, worth 72.2 trillion Harts a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,726 Harts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Explosive diarrhoea is not just a colorful phrase, the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to, children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work, and advanced mathematics books explain how two plus two equals five. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 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 132,297^th in the world and 2,995^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 782.74 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
