The Federation of Posolaris is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 247 million Posolarians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.4%.

The powerhouse Posolarian economy, worth 20.7 trillion Croes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 83,986 Croes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 242,839 per year while the poor average 23,033, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, and courtrooms can be a little sketchy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Posolaris's national animal is the Crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Posolaris is ranked 79,644^th in the world and 44^th in Cape of Good Hope for Most Patriotic, with 17.71 flags saluted per person per day.
