The United States of Pocatello-ID- is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.144 billion Pocatello-ID-ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Pocatello-ID-ian economy, worth 682 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 164,791 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pocatello-ID-'s national animal is the bald eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pocatello-ID- is ranked 28,492^nd in the world and 218^th in Aerospace for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,862.66 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
