The People's Democratic Republic of Pocwa is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Mikhail Zhernakov with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 7.16 billion Pocwans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vonogorod. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pocwan economy, worth 757 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,838 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, Mikhail Zhernakov's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort, and government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pocwa's national animal is the Wallaby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pocwa is ranked 307,736^th in the world and 202^nd in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -16.89 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
