For the character, see Doc Pseudopolis.

Pseudopolis is a city-state on the Sto Plains, formerly a duchy but recently declared a republic (see Unseen Academicals). It is the most turnwise of the major Sto Plains cities (nearing the Octarine Grass Country and the barbarian territory) and probably the largest city on the continent after Ankh-Morpork.

Interesting Facts

• A street in uptown Ankh-Morpork is named Pseudopolis Yard. This curves around the Opera House, opposite of which can be found a building currently serving as headquarters of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch.

• Nobby Nobbs, currently Corporal in the A-M City Watch, had served before as quartermaster of the Pseudopolis military. Due to this and other circumstances, Pseudopolis always lost its wars (see Men at Arms).

• 13 Midden Lane Pseudopolis is where Rincewind returned to the Disc after an indeterminate length of time spent ducking and diving in the Dungeon Dimensions. This was due to hapless teenage necromancer Eric and a too-convenient magic circle...

• Thrasher's School is a long-established, prestigious, boarding school where the sons of the landed gentry are turned into men.

• Brazeneck College is located in Pseudopolis, and is apparently a source of great civic pride, at least prior to the 70-foot chicken incident.
