The Dominion of The Post Detective is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.475 billion Post Detectiveans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The very strong Post Detectivean economy, worth 211 trillion Glowposters a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 60,810 Glowposters, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Post Detective's national animal is the Trashposter.

The Post Detective is ranked 298,450^th in the world and 211^th in Fifth Empire for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -6.32 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
