The United States of The Polar Reigons is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mr Polar Bear with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.149 billion Polar Reigonsians 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, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of McMurdo City. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Polar Reigonsian economy, worth 145 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,613 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lending money has become a major liability, the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, the endangered saltwater humpback Polar Bear is only seen in captivity programs, and children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants. Crime is totally unknown. The Polar Reigons's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is No Official Religion.

The Polar Reigons is ranked 29,080th in the world and 601st in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,505.05 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
