The Compromising Positions of Central Polcomia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Benevolent Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.074 billion Central Polcomians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Midday. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Central Polcomian economy, worth a remarkable 1,979 trillion bennies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 178,795 bennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, protests are legal but strictly supervised, facial disfigurement is a leading cause of supervillainy, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Midday Canaries against long odds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Central Polcomia's national animal is the canary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a forgiving religion.

Central Polcomia is ranked 326,999^th in the world and 3^rd in Polcomia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 18.7 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
