The Missile Launching Nation of Podrian Defence Post 4 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 5.875 billion Podrian Defence Officers 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Podrian Defence Officer economy, worth 173 trillion nuclear warheads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 29,523 nuclear warheads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and sick days are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Podrian Defence Post 4's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Podrian Defence Post 4 is ranked 252,051^st in the world and 230^th in Transbian for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.48 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
