The Everlasting Eventide of Polar Night is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Obscured King with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.462 billion Poles are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nunatak. The average income tax rate is 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Polar Night economy, worth a remarkable 1,467 trillion dusk coins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,284 dusk coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Health inspectors are seen eating black truffle fondue with their bottled water, school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, and abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polar Night's national animal is the Adélie Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cult of the Midnight Sun.

Polar Night is ranked 17,638^th in the world and 9^th in Fjord for Lowest Crime Rates, with 91.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
