The People's Republic of Polskastan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Stanislaw Kielcinski with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.283 billion Polska are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Krakova. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Polskan economy, worth 298 trillion Zloties a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,739 Zloties, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, relatives of recent award winners find their trophies make stylish urns, courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Polska, and citizens have to identify all the polar bears in a blizzard photo in order to access their bank account. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polskastan's national animal is the Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Troutism.

Polskastan is ranked 166,971^st in the world and 414^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 353.45 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
