The Matriarchal Terrorist Group of The Polar Nation is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Worthy Leader Sami Sessersuaq with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.553 billion Polar Nation people 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Environment are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the South Pole HQ. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.9%.

The strong Polar Nation economy, worth 129 trillion stolen goods a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 83,273 stolen goods, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Brain injury is seen as a desirable outcome rather than a side effect of contact sports, carrots are orange, apples are red and food waste is increasing, it's a common sight to see angry commuters with grenade launchers mounted on their vehicles, and the state believes that children are what you make of them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. The Polar Nation's national animal is the tropical, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Polar Nation is ranked 134,256th in the world and 18th in Gypsy Lands for Most Conservative, scoring 62.27 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
