The Republic of Polynomia is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.113 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Polynomia City. The average income tax rate is 31%. A robust private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, the government has begun selling heroin and ecstasy to help fund its projects, and the nation's youth is held blameless for all crimes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Polynomia's national animal is the Fruit Bat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Marple.

Polynomia is ranked 2,957th in the South Pacific and 90,309th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 13 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
