The Polska Kolonia of Szczawnica is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Józef Szalay with an even hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, zero percent divorce rate, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.327 billion Poles have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Centrum Szczawnicy. The average income tax rate is 33.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Polish economy, worth 59.2 trillion Złoties a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,615 Złoties, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Police are trained in using their steel-capped boots as a tool of law enforcement, state-sanctioned torture is okay so long as there's no icky blood, the military sees national borders more as guidelines than absolutes, and money always talks but the taboo subject of death just brings silence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Szczawnica's national animal is the White-tailed eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Szczawnica is ranked 256,834^th in the world and 1,057^th in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.71 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
