The Queen's State of The South Pole House is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.176 billion South Pole Houseans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The strong South Pole Housean economy, worth 954 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 41,177 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is moderate. The South Pole House's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The South Pole House is ranked 242,384^th in the world and 2^nd in Republic of South Africa for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
