The Protectorate of POM is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 28.677 billion POMians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 21.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving POMian economy, worth a remarkable 1,897 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,150 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, devotion to God is only skin-deep, aeroplane cockpits no longer have altimeters or airspeed indicators, and school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. POM's national animal is the Dolly Varden.

POM is ranked 87,013^th in the world and 1^st in Principality of Monaco for Most Developed, scoring 65.23 on the Human Development Index.
