The Republic of Postulat is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Coka with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.836 billion Postulatians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Megalopolis. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Postulatian economy, worth a remarkable 2,052 trillion dolars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 300,245 dolars, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in Postulat, citizens have reported seeing strange rays of light emanating from the moon, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Postulat's national animal is the tigar, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Postulat is ranked 1,812th in the world and 63rd in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 148.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
