The United Empire of Poolanxi is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Jibriyel with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.666 billion Poolanxians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Poolaka. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Poolanxian economy, worth 244 trillion Korws a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 66,724 Korws, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, women wearing male lounge-wear are quizzed for hours by mental health practitioners, and heretic deviants are free to practice their deviance outside of Poolanxi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poolanxi's national animal is the piikok, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Jibriyelism.

Poolanxi is ranked 104,832^nd in the world and 193^rd in Christians for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 93.49 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
