The Podrian Testing Ground of Podria 2 Electric Boogaloo is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.556 billion Podrian Playthings are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Podrian Playthingian economy, worth 64.4 trillion intergalactic snails a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 6,741 intergalactic snails, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and every week is blindness awareness week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Podria 2 Electric Boogaloo's national animal is the Posadas, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Podria 2 Electric Boogaloo is ranked 32,452^nd in the world and 3^rd in Transbian for Safest, scoring 108.3 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
