Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Poseidonland is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.68 billion Poseidonlandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Poseidonlandian economy, worth 376 trillion Sea Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,522 Sea Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 470,832 per year while the poor average 31,149, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.

Criminals tell the police where their jurisdiction ends, the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, and public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poseidonland's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Poseidonland is ranked 98,539^th in the world and 101^st in Federation Of Sovereign States for Highest Poor Incomes, with 31,149.52 Standard Monetary Units.
