The Commonwealth of Polinikia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by tuhina nui with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory vegetarianism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 27.787 billion Polinikians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alekanekapura. The average income tax rate is 4.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Polinikian economy, worth a remarkable 3,711 trillion tala a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,556 tala, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's rare to find an unchewed pencil, war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, and record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polinikia's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Polinikia is ranked 756^th in the world and 1^st in Kataru Kur Gal for Highest Food Quality, scoring 395.53 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
