The Kingdom of Poldarias is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by King Horatio IX with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, devout population of 15.689 billion Poldarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lyceum. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Poldarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,552 trillion Thalars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,670 Thalars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wandering Poldarians are known for their one-track minds, foreigners can tell the popularity of Poldarian landmarks by the size of their ash dunes, structures are raised on promises, and diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poldarias's national animal is the White-Tailed Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kaloatism.

Poldarias is ranked 20,699th in the world and 10th in The Union of Democratic States for Highest Average Incomes, with 162,670.67 Standard Monetary Units.
