The Benevolent Cockatoo Dictator of Polinasia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Politan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 12.105 billion Polinasians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Poly City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Polinasian economy, worth a remarkable 3,249 trillion Denarii a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 268,480 Denarii, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,279,905 per year while the poor average 33,096, a ratio of 38.7 to 1.

Hunters often become the hunted, "The Daily Sacrifice" is a routine segment of morning news shows, distrust of taps has many people bathing only with bottled mineral water, and Jennifer Government is banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Polinasia's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Polinasia is ranked 11,026th in the world and 255th in the Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 87.01 quips per hour.
