The 「ＭＡＳＫＯＦＦ」 of Pol0tno is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, cynical population of 2.76 billion Pol0tnoans 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 relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The very strong Pol0tnoan economy, worth 157 trillion polotnoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 57,083 polotnoes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 161,134 per year while the poor average 16,187, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Crime is a problem. Pol0tno's national animal is the polotno, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pol0tno is ranked 289,568^th in the world and 17^th in Stubby Toe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -36.74 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
