The National Collectivity of Polre is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Administrator Corthins with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.762 billion Polreans 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Starchia. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Polrean economy, worth 308 trillion Polroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 175,273 Polroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation, the endangered saltwater humpback Animal is only seen in captivity programs, priests pray to Administrator Corthins for regulatory approval, and telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polre's national animal is the Animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Polrean Christianity.

Polre is ranked 6,117^th in the world and 119^th in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 7,560.12 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
