The People's Republic of Policka is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Wacław with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.858 billion Polickans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Czewrotów. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Polickan economy, worth 728 trillion Złoties a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 188,781 Złoties, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Polickan language, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Policka's national animal is the Pingwin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Policka is ranked 276,690^th in the world and 79^th in Kerbals of the North for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 33.85 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
