The Federation of Polling Booths is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Pollster with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, remarkably easy parental licensing program, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.428 billion Polling Boothsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Poll Booth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Polling Boothsian economy, worth a remarkable 5,290 trillion Electoral Roles a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 258,962 Electoral Roles, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

School guidance counselors recommend monastic vows as an alternative to higher education, political activists are routinely executed, yoga studios are being converted into yoga research labs, and cholera is seen as the holiest of diseases. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polling Booths's national animal is the Ballot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Polling.

Polling Booths is ranked 679^th in the world and 4^th in Europeia for Largest Black Market, with 7,760 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
