The Republic of Powlanska is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Thomas Block with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.375 billion Powlanskans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wahlopen. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Powlanskan economy, worth a remarkable 1,257 trillion Posklas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 170,550 Posklas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Hospitals have unveiled new guidelines suggesting that latex gloves do not count as clothing, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, bug burgers are extra crunchy, and the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Powlanska's national animal is the Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
