The Federal Republic of Polugaria is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Probatski with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 25.969 billion Polugarians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novo Gdanśk. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Polugarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,148 trillion Głownoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,742 Głownoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's hospitals are criticized for caring more about profits than patients, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, and cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polugaria's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Polugaria is ranked 29,837^th in the world and 24^th in Wintreath for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 7,005.68 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
