The Islamic Socialist Republic of Polaz is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Premier of the Unified Polian Front with an even hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 3.094 billion Polians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boreal Crest. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Polian economy, worth 380 trillion Tundra Shards a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 123,005 Tundra Shards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Boreal Crest Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years, the nation honors the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Polian weed picker, kids loitering near lawns has been declared a national emergency, and genetic research is facing major headwinds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polaz's national animal is the Ironclaw Basilisk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islam.

Polaz is ranked 27,679^th in the world and 11^th in The Empire of Walbard for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,806.08 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
