The Republic of Poynesia is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 50 million Poynesians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 6.8%.

The strong Poynesian economy, worth 3.16 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 63,120 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Poynesia's national animal is the squirrel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Poynesia is ranked 312,508^th in the world and 61^st in Mauravia for Largest Populations, with 50.0 million capita.
