The Great Archipelago of United Islands of Polis is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Premier Cassius Keyman with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate population of 16.798 billion Polisians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Polis Island. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse a Polisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,458 trillion Gelts a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 86,833 Gelts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When their backs are against the walls Polisians look out for gay men, nations that kill a Polisian can expect a strongly worded letter, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, and traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Islands of Polis's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

United Islands of Polis is ranked 262,832^nd in the world and 9,183^rd in Osiris for Most Primitive, scoring -202.48 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
