The Principality of Polata City is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Mary Sasor with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.841 billion Polatans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Government Center. The average income tax rate is 61.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Polatan economy, worth a remarkable 1,742 trillion Polata City Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,459 Polata City Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Birdsong in the mountains has to be loud enough to drown out nearby jackhammers, garden stores are not allowed to sell water butts, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polata City's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Polata City is ranked 273,452^nd in the world and 11^th in Zentari for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.7 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
