The Teletubbies Scooter Expert of Po is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.662 billion Poans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Po City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.4%.

The very strong Poan economy, worth 427 trillion Scooters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 49,340 Scooters, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, euthanasia is legal, and the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Po's national animal is the Teletubby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Po is ranked 31,108th in the world and 416th in eta for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring zero on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
