The United States of Poguelands is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 134 million Poguelandsians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The all-consuming Poguelandsian economy, worth 14.5 trillion Euro-Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 108,250 Euro-Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 900,742 per year while the poor average 2,585, a ratio of 348 to 1.

After every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow, foreign students are expected to have a Kegmeister Grade Average of 36-24-36 to qualify for university, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, and Poguelandsians believe manners maketh the leader. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Poguelands's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Poguelands is ranked 232,801^st in the world and 4,801^st in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
