The Republic of Pol-1 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions. The hard-working, cynical population of 16.627 billion Pol-1ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.6%.
The strong Pol-1ian economy, worth 837 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 50,367 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.
Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, Pol-1ians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, and Pol-1 City's flashy holiday light displays can be seen from space. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pol-1's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth.
Pol-1 is ranked 145,201st in the world and 1st in Polaris for Most Beautiful Environments, with 517.65 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
