The Mekpool of Hulkpool is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Deadpool with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate population of 26.515 billion Poolians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deadpool City. The average income tax rate is 33.2%.

The strong Hulkpoolian economy, worth 819 trillion Cashpools a year, is highly specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,889 Cashpools, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Prison officers are bribed not to take bribes, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem. Hulkpool's national animal is the Dogpool, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Hulkpool is ranked 308,325^th in the world and 1^st in HYDRA for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -4.47 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
