The United Socialist States of Polish Colonies is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 62 million inter galactic Poles 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, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 56.7%.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Polish Coloniesian economy, worth 2.31 trillion Shekels 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. 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 37,181 Shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Royalist is the most offensive slur in the Polish Coloniesian language, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Polish Colonies, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', and homosexuality is a crime punishable by death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polish Colonies's national animal is the Glowie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Polish Colonies is ranked 273,085^th in the world and 54^th in Free Market Federation for Highest Average Incomes, with 37,181.26 Standard Monetary Units.
