The Federation of Pomidia is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning horse population. The hard-working, democratic population of 18 million Pomidians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 11.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Pomidian economy, worth 985 billion pomidis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 54,762 pomidis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage, money grows on trees, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is almost non-existent. Pomidia's national animal is the horse.

Pomidia is ranked 13,280^th in the world and 57^th in Europe for Most Primitive, scoring 88.88 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
