The Potency of Poison is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tim Armstrong with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, devout population of 15.13 billion Poisonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Poison City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.9%.

The powerhouse Poisonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,464 trillion arsenics a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,787 arsenics, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 387,728 per year while the poor average 16,211, a ratio of 23.9 to 1.

Politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, Poison City University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, and the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough'. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Poison's national animal is the dart frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Poison is ranked 104,609th in the world and 1,186th in Suspicious for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 47.87 Effective Tax Rate.
