The Democratic Republic of Pomplamouse is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Grandiose Grand Pomplamouse Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.169 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 is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Equality and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soda Fountain. The average income tax rate is 88%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Bizarre-looking creatures called 'Honey Badgerdogs' dominate wildlife preserves, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, the government seizes all major gold finds, and all beauty contests have been banned. Crime is totally unknown. Pomplamouse's national animal is the Honey Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Ball.

Pomplamouse is ranked 21st in hogarahoiprash and 7,673rd in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 11 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
