The Republic of Polky is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The quiet, industrious population of 7 million Polkyians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 29.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Polkyian economy, worth 291 billion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 41,531 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, Leader has declared a weed sticking through a crack in the sidewalk to be the nation's newest green space, euthanasia is illegal, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polky's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Polky is ranked 106,219^th in the world and 19^th in womp for Highest Poor Incomes, with 29,547.58 Standard Monetary Units.
