The United Socialist States of Polosand is a very large, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 287 million Polosandians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sand Land. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.9%.

The Polosandian economy, worth 17.6 trillion Polomarks a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,256 Polomarks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 233,287 per year while the poor average 11,140, a ratio of 20.9 to 1.

Pranking is an art form, comedians who make offensive jokes have their ticket proceeds seized, AI chatbots generate grayscale images when asked for a picture of the truth, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polosand's national animal is the Polar bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Polosand is ranked 127,164^th in the world and 17^th in Aurelian Republic for Highest Average Incomes, with 61,256.85 Standard Monetary Units.
