The People's Republic of Policka is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by The Chairman with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, state-planned economy, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.603 billion Polickans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Czewrotów. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Polickan economy, worth a remarkable 2,415 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an amazing 280,791 Złoties, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Cremation is compulsory for the deceased, colonies are told they'll get their sovereignty back when they finish supper, gamers rarely face the consequences of their actions, and nine out of ten citizens of Policka answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Policka's national animal is the Pingwin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Policka is ranked 291,561^st in the world and 60^th in Kerbals of the North for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -10 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
