The Federal Republic of Polarais is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lannes Morningstar with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.111 billion Polarisians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emancipation City. The average income tax rate is 61.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Polarian economy, worth 104 trillion Nouvelles Constellation de Republiques a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 93,647 Nouvelles Constellation de Republiques, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens, selfie stick use is a required Scout badge, interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBP Governor goes house hunting, and drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polarais's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Polarais is ranked 157,024^th in the world and 214^th in Bozarkia for Most Authoritarian, with 673.42 milliStalins.
