The National Union of Poulton-with-Fearnhead is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Magnús Bertelsson with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 16.134 billion Varcarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dheaxeev. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Poulton-with-Fearnheadian economy, worth a remarkable 5,263 trillion Færns a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 326,263 Færns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Environmental legislation occurs cyclically, knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", and conspiracy theorists allege Dheaxeev's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Poulton-with-Fearnhead's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Poulton-with-Fearnhead is ranked 220,142nd in the world and 1,013th in Europeia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -5.48 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
