The Federated Republic of Pomerena is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Council of Ministers with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 8.251 billion Pomerenans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitolia. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pomerenan economy, worth 776 trillion Pomerenan Crowns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,163 Pomerenan Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Pomerenans like vultures, from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Pomerena, and prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pomerena's national animal is the Europeian Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Traptism.

Pomerena is ranked 37,448^th in the world and 224^th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
