The United Socialist States of Polish Colonies is a small, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 29 million inter galactic Poles are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 53.5%.

The sizeable but inefficient Polish Coloniesian economy, worth 1.12 trillion Shekels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 38,734 Shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, criminals are thrown to the Glowies to repay their debt to society, and a baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polish Colonies's national animal is the Glowie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Polish Colonies is ranked 203,038^th in the world and 41^st in Free Market Federation for Fattest Citizens, with 9.28 Obesity Rate.
