The Republic of P188 is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, strictly enforced bedtime, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 446 million P188ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 53.3%.

The strong P188ian economy, worth 32.3 trillion złoties a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 72,335 złoties, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, and children's TV shows are having a gay old time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. P188's national animal is the monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

P188 is ranked 169,635^th in the world and 639^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 543.95 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
