The Federal Republic of Ponderosuh is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Governor Kaeden with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.705 billion Ponderosians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaedenia. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ponderosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,160 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,576 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, the official Ponderosian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, citizens who use the word "Violet" incorrectly find their WhoTube content taken down, and blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ponderosuh's national animal is the Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ponderosuh is ranked 8,034^th in the world and 183^rd in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 135,177.58 Standard Monetary Units.
