The State of Points South is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.856 billion Points Southians 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, prioritizes Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Points Southian economy, worth a remarkable 1,033 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 45,203 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 307,329 per year while the poor average 2,428, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, all tariffs have been abolished, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Points South's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Points South is ranked 269,371st in the world and 7th in Dili for Safest, scoring 10.58 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
