The Pokemon Conglomerate of Poke Corp is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Council of Gym Masters with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.021 billion H People live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Industry, although Healthcare, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of H Pokeball Center. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.6%.

The powerhouse Poke Corp economy, worth 185 trillion Pokeballs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 91,627 Pokeballs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 590,549 per year while the poor average 5,743, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in Poke Corp, t-shirts displaying a photo of Council of Gym Masters performing the Full-Monty are selling out, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Poke Corp's national animal is the H Pokemon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Poke-Capitalism.

Poke Corp is ranked 278,881st in the world and 127th in Institute of Cellulose for Most Beautiful Environments, with 6.21 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
