The People's socialist republic of Pocwa is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mikhail Zhernakov with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.09 billion Pocwans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vonogorod. The average income tax rate is 53.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Pocwan economy, worth 168 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,657 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Statues of famous citizens are erected or demolished on a purely partisan basis, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, and town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pocwa's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pocwa is ranked 49,241^st in the world and 66^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 626.19 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
