The State of Ponta Grossa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 25.243 billion Ponta Grossans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ponta Grossan economy, worth a remarkable 3,297 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 130,638 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ponta Grossa's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ponta Grossa is ranked 57,998^th in the world and 38^th in 0000 for Most Corrupt Governments, with 31.57 kickbacks per hour.
