The Federal Commonwealth of Polarea is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by First Minister Elysia Lynne with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.092 billion Polareans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Göteborg. The income tax rate is 100.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Polarean economy, worth a remarkable 4,887 trillion Polar Crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 231,727 Polar Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, and jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration. Crime is totally unknown. Polarea's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Polarea is ranked 135,513^th in the world and 21^st in Arctic for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,657.91 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
