The Holy Blue Republic of PoW is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Yodle with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The hard-working population of 11.522 billion Prisoner of Wars are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.7%.

The frighteningly efficient PoWian economy, worth a remarkable 1,323 trillion Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,860 Gold Coins, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas, all children's clothes come in only cream and off-white to prevent offense, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, and court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PoW's national animal is the zombie and its national religion is Yodlism.

PoW is ranked 60,411^th in the world and 125^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 512.65 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
