The Silver Islands of Pogglind is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Elbbsas with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.156 billion Pogglians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Hinton Caverns. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Pogglian economy, worth a remarkable 1,338 trillion doubloons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,993 doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, the Great Pogglian Melting Pot boils out ethnic heritage, and gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up. Crime is totally unknown. Pogglind's national animal is the pug hog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Pogglind is ranked 6,508th in the world and 7th in Wintreath for Most Stationary, with 2,884.72750793988 days.
