The Democratic Republic of Pogthebravelandia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Pog with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.529 billion Pogthebravelandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pogtropolis. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Pogthebravelandian economy, worth 738 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,976 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants, the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills, a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Pogthebravelandian as 'your finger, you fool', and an epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pogthebravelandia's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pogthebravelandia is ranked 130,246^th in the world and 670^th in 10000 Islands for Most Extreme, scoring 18.82 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
