The People's Republic of Pomerus is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and frequent executions. The cynical, devout population of 229 million Pomerussians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Pomerussian economy, worth 7.79 trillion Rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,000 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Science fiction is seen as the leading cause of mental breakdowns, foreigners are treated with great suspicion, stylish juvenile delinquents are highly overrepresented in fatal motorcycle accidents, and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pomerus's national animal is the Red Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Pomerus is ranked 124,222nd in the world and 2nd in Orthodox Regional Alliance for Most Extreme, scoring 21.13 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
