The Rogue Nation of POPPOE is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 130 million POPPOEians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.
The tiny, liberal, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 8.1%.
The strong POPPOEian economy, worth 6.64 trillion INTS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 51,111 INTS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.
The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, euthanasia is illegal, and bicyclists are banned from major roads. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. POPPOE's national animal is the FOX, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
POPPOE is ranked 93,261st in the world and 29th in Hive for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,131.2 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
