The Republic of Poseidonland is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its lack of airports, compulsory gun ownership, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.74 billion Poseidonlandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Poseidonlandian economy, worth 389 trillion Sea Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,169 Sea Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 430,369 per year while the poor average 36,544, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

Many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, bureaucrats close new businesses for not complying with the Penguin Packaging Index, homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them, and streaming companies get dammed up whenever a powerful person throws a tantrum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poseidonland's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Poseidonland is ranked 23,488th in the world and 10th in Federation Of Sovereign States for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 30,751.85 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
