The Concrete Slabian Switcher of The Poker is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.405 billion Pokerians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pokerian economy, worth 633 trillion Pokes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 117,160 Pokes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary, all industry is owned and run by the government, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Poker's national animal is the Poker, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Poker is ranked 95,693^rd in the world and 1,083^rd in Artificial Solar System for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,482.41 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
