The College of Pomona College is a huge, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 860 million Pomonans 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 medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Claremont. The average income tax rate is 24.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Pomonan economy, worth 13.4 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 15,557 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, it is illegal to have the wrong clock time showing on your microwave oven, and Pomona College has designated Claremont as its capital city. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pomona College's national animal is the sagehen.

Pomona College is ranked 43,457^th in the world and 15^th in California Colleges and Universities for Nudest, with 216 cheeks per square mile.
