The Principality of Pqs is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 13.482 billion Pqsians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.7%.

The large but inefficient Pqsian economy, worth 625 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 46,386 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans, and strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pqs's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pqs is ranked 193,499^th in the world and 678^th in Carcassonne for Highest Average Incomes, with 46,386.75 Standard Monetary Units.
