The Community of Poly is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.893 billion Polyians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The strong Polyian economy, worth 192 trillion marks a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 49,568 marks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 302,015 per year while the poor average 3,600, a ratio of 83.9 to 1.

Retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits, the law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, and it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Poly's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Poly is ranked 287,078th in the world and 393rd in The Apexialan Commonwealth for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 9.54 Effective Tax Rate.
