The Realm of Poseidon is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Poseidon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, digital currency, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 9.031 billion Poseidonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Ocean. The average income tax rate is 91.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Poseidonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,566 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 173,420 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Gossip magazines have been replaced by mask catalogs, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Poseidonians, 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, and the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poseidon's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Cult Of Poseidon.

Poseidon is ranked 4,486th in the world and 2nd in Greece for Most Developed, scoring 95.38 on the Human Development Index.
