The République of Popaholick is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Jacqueline St-Miquelon with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 26.528 billion Popaholickans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marseille. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Popaholickan economy, worth a remarkable 9,872 trillion Francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 372,153 Francs, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, lending firms are subject to strict government regulations, married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, and the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix. Crime is totally unknown. Popaholick's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Popaholick is ranked 426th in the world and 7th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 521 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
