The Wasted Votes of CSB PM Union is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Poncho Man with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, cultivated feral children, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 8.931 billion CSB PM Unionians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Administrative Block D1. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient CSB PM Unionian economy, worth a remarkable 4,475 trillion Rusted Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 501,107 Rusted Gold Coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,643,922 per year while the poor average 21,606, a ratio of 168 to 1.

The rich are forced to sell their houses to pay for more police to prevent their houses from being burgled, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, and the secret ingredient is love (and MSG). Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. CSB PM Union's national animal is the Bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

CSB PM Union is ranked 50,041st in the world and 30th in NationStates for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,880.44 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
