The Grenade Apple of Pomegratius is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, prohibition of alcohol, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 4.054 billion Pomegratites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pomepa. The average income tax rate is 51.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Pomegratiun economy, worth 152 trillion Pomegranates a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 37,610 Pomegranates, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", the standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, and legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pomegratius's national animal is the Pomegranate, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Pomegratius is ranked 287,253rd in the world and 50th in Aurora Forest for Most Stationary, with 3.77012258712 days.
