The United States of Poguelands is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its national health service, digital currency, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 292 million Poguelandsians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Night city. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Poguelandsian economy, worth 33.3 trillion Euro-Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 114,048 Euro-Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 323,755 per year while the poor average 32,089, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, the blood, sweat, and tears of poor Poguelandsians make research institutes rich, clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, and 'Police Academy 36' and 'Sharknados On A Plane' are vying for top spot at the box-office. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Poguelands's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Poguelands is ranked 17,639^th in the world and 323^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,531.47 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
