The Republic of Pollymae is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Polly with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.26 billion Pollymaeans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mae. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pollymaean economy, worth 516 trillion rubles 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. 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 98,198 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

They say that Pollymaeans made a dessert and called it peace, motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas, almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, and the sparkling rainbow has become a symbol of far-right extremism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pollymae's national animal is the cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pollymae is ranked 324,589^th in the world and 39^th in Lewisham Library for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13.34 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
