The Witty Sensational Reporting of Ponkotsu is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.611 billion Ponkotsuans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 11.9%.

The strong Ponkotsuan economy, worth 139 trillion florins a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 38,504 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ponkotsu's national animal is the cow.

Ponkotsu is ranked 53,095^th in the world and 3^rd in Rose City for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.77 percentage of bribes refused.
