The Kingdom of Pole Island is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Chuck Norris with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 22.649 billion Pole Islandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pole Island City. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pole Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,897 trillion Pole Islandian Goldcoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,928 Pole Islandian Goldcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land, every noble family has a 'personal file' on record courtesy of the central intelligence service, military training in Pole Island emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pole Island's national animal is the Human, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Deus Vult.

Pole Island is ranked 10,059^th in the world and 206^th in the Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 4,551.17 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
