“For our freedom and yours!”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Free Land of Podlachian State is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 106 million Podlachians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Healthcare, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 9.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Podlachian economy, worth 5.27 trillion podlans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 49,753 podlans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, and a third of Podlachians are e-certified CEOs. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Podlachian State's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Podlachian State is ranked 257,505^th in the world and 4,658^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 1.42 flags saluted per person per day.
