The Emirate of Pontus Republic is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.638 billion Pontians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trebizond. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Pontus Republician economy, worth 671 trillion Drachmas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,821 Drachmas, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Newly-peaceful nations are forced to use assault rifles as farming tools due to a lack of funds for purchasing anything else, people are turning themselves into worm food, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, and former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pontus Republic's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Islam.

Pontus Republic is ranked 180,312^th in the world and 2,813^th in Ambition for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 98.4 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
