The Wasted Votes of CSB PM Union is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Poncho Man with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.335 billion CSB PM Unionians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuggetton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.4%.

The frighteningly efficient CSB PM Unionian economy, worth a remarkable 2,047 trillion Rusted Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 383,853 Rusted Gold Coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,680,562 per year while the poor average 18,969, a ratio of 141 to 1.

The legal system for the political class is completely separate from the one for normal citizens, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, foreign leaders never seem to want to shake hands with Poncho Man, and squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. CSB PM Union's national animal is the Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

CSB PM Union is ranked 339,570th in the world and 737th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
