The Nuclear Talk Show of Pokemon Talk is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Squirtle with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 8.154 billion Pokemon 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Studio Floor. The average income tax rate is 57.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pokenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,127 trillion Num-Nums a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,220 Num-Nums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens select which government department gets their income tax Num-Nums each year, movement-triggered sensors mean that for every door that closes another one opens, sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, and editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning. Crime is totally unknown. Pokemon Talk's national animal is the Bulbasaur, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Arkoos-Helixism.

Pokemon Talk is ranked 83,853rd in the world and 23rd in The Labyrinth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
