The Federation of Pooshland is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Édouard Pooshkain with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.448 billion Pooshlandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westhills. The average income tax rate is 34.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pooshlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,302 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 174,833 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and wheelchair users complain it is nearly impossible for them to cross the road in Westhills. Crime is totally unknown. Pooshland's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pooshland is ranked 42,806^th in the world and 1,765^th in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,019.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
