The Federal Free Republic of United Poleza is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Vasily Shukshin with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 2.973 billion Polzis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oplion. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Polzi economy, worth 429 trillion Polezain Rens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 144,374 Polezain Rens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Diaper sales are up, Vasily Shukshin has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, cigarettes are dead-cheap, and putting a mustache on a banknote is considered defacing a national monument. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Poleza's national animal is the Oziark, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

United Poleza is ranked 142,196^th in the world and 2,717^th in The North Pacific for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 2,090.1 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
