The State of Pocasset is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 23.48 billion Pocassetians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The strong Pocassetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,277 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 54,405 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 369,889 per year while the poor average 2,923, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, Pocasset has designated Columbia Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Pocasset in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Pocasset's national religion. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pocasset's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Pocasset is ranked 134,666^th in the world and 1^st in Rhode Island for Largest Black Market, with 1.43 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
