The Free Land of Pou is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 237 million Pouans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Administration, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The very strong Pouan economy, worth 11.9 trillion pou dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 50,377 pou dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 172,304 per year while the poor average 10,827, a ratio of 15.9 to 1.

A valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', pous are considered a delicacy, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and children regularly take part in blood sports that result in extreme boo-boos. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pou's national animal is the pou, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pou is ranked 168,744^th in the world and 62^nd in RPS for Most Developed, scoring 54.74 on the Human Development Index.
