The Forest Island of Breeding Pool- is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Mark Rosewater with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.515 billion Breeding Pool-ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shockland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Breeding Pool-ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,388 trillion lands 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 132,004 lands, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Mark Rosewater's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, the terminally ill are applying for visas from their bed, and hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Breeding Pool-'s national animal is the shock, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is shocking.

Breeding Pool- is ranked 231,983^rd in the world and 191^st in House Boucher for Highest Drug Use, scoring 70.38 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
