The Allied States of Polkopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Milos Vasić with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 31.861 billion Polkopians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Peeto. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Polkopian economy, worth a remarkable 6,976 trillion Polkopian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 218,978 Polkopian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and light entertainment isn't dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polkopia's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.

Polkopia is ranked 3,747th in the world and 6th in Esportiva for Most Developed, scoring 96.37 on the Human Development Index.
