The Realm of Poseidon is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Poseidon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.848 billion Poseidonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Ocean. The average income tax rate is 91.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Poseidonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,522 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 172,042 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

You're only as old as you feel, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to The Ocean to enjoy their national art, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, and terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poseidon's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Cult Of Poseidon.

Poseidon is ranked 1,532nd in the world and 2nd in Greece for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 13,614.2 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
