The Allied States of Polycyclonea is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 12.717 billion Polycycloneans 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 large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 50.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Polycyclonean economy, worth 236 trillion cones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 18,625 cones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, Polycyclonea has designated Polycyclonea City as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Polycyclonea in an international press conference, and Meteo-gods aka The Weather Girls has been named as Polycyclonea's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polycyclonea's national animal is the cone snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Meteo-gods aka The Weather Girls.

Polycyclonea is ranked 71,453^rd in the world and 41^st in The Eighth Closet for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
