The Democratic Federal Republic of Polotino is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Andrew Francos-Martin with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 881 million Polotinese enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sedesa. The average income tax rate is 50.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Polotinese economy, worth 73.7 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 83,607 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polotino's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Polotino is ranked 239,660^th in the world and 5,284^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Authoritarian, with 413.08 milliStalins.
