The Empire of Posset is a tiny, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9 million Possetians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The very strong Possetian economy, worth 600 billion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 66,768 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 226,742 per year while the poor average 14,505, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Posset's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Posset is ranked 259,336^th in the world and 35^th in Enomenos for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 94.02 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
