The Great Unwashed Masses of Polkstreet is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Polky with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 10.934 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Women's Locker Room. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing.

Roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, the people are furious with the government for allowing citizens to be executed for petty crimes in foreign countries, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polkstreet's national animal is the ocelot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the whoopie.

Polkstreet is ranked 406th in the region and 14,758th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
