The National Union of Poulton-with-Fearnhead is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Magnús Bertelsson with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, parental licensing program, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed population of 16.117 billion Varcarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dheaxeev. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Poulton-with-Fearnheadian economy, worth a remarkable 5,258 trillion Færns a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 326,263 Færns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Environmental legislation occurs cyclically, knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", and conspiracy theorists allege Dheaxeev's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Poulton-with-Fearnhead's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Poulton-with-Fearnhead is ranked 2,428th in the world and 12th in Europeia for Most Corrupt Governments, with 318.48 kickbacks per hour.
