The Nation of Powhatan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ritual sacrifices, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 13.968 billion Powhatanians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Powhatanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,604 trillion Golds a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 114,894 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign countries consider stepping on their grass to be a serious offense, teachers regularly paddle unruly students, it's believed that women's brains will overheat if they think for themselves, and small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Powhatan's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Powhatan is ranked 199,856th in the world and 7,708th in Balder for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 29,527.96 Standard Monetary Units.
