The Pokemon Catching Device of Pokeball is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 856 million Pokeballians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Pokeballian economy, worth 5.44 trillion Pokedollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 6,359 Pokedollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pokeball's national animal is the Pokémon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pokeball is ranked 213,731^st in the world and 7^th in Trading Cards for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 48.99 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
