The Rogue Nation of Nexus Polaris is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.41 billion Polars are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Svalbard. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Polar economy, worth 751 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 170,510 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Polars suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise Leader on Nexus Polaris's coulrophobia epidemic, and visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nexus Polaris's national animal is the Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Nexus Polaris is ranked 4,803rd in the world and 132nd in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 78.57 flags saluted per person per day.
