The Sunset Republic of Polgaria is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Federal Assembly with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.691 billion Polgarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zalnoch. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Polgarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,875 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,746 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polgaria's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Polgaria is ranked 289,921st in the world and 6,297th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -28.31 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
