The United States of Polusie is a huge, safe nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, public floggings, and lack of airports. The compassionate, democratic population of 926 million Polusians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eardeth. The average income tax rate is 30.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Polusian economy, worth 63.2 trillion Jinnings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,296 Jinnings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Ranchers are adept at mimicking wolf attacks, overhead luggage compartments on trains sometimes conceal diminutive intelligence officers, every day is laundry day, and praying before a battle is a court-martial offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polusie's national animal is the Blue Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Polusie is ranked 263,732^nd in the world and 9^th in Thing for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.78 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
