The Realm of Poseidon is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Poseidon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.951 billion Poseidonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Ocean. The average income tax rate is 91.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Poseidonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,551 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 173,307 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and gossip magazines have been replaced by mask catalogs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poseidon's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Cult Of Poseidon.

Poseidon is ranked 300,298^th in the world and 15^th in Greece for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 14,557.82 Standard Monetary Units.
