The Republic of P458 is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed population of 339 million P458ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 48.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong P458ian economy, worth 20.0 trillion złoties a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,138 złoties, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, military spending is on the increase, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, and rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. P458's national animal is the python, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

P458 is ranked 97,493^rd in the world and 10^th in Organization of Mediterranean States for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 48.56 Effective Tax Rate.
