The Empire of Politiania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Charles I Magnificent with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 19.719 billion Politianians 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Korista. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Politianian economy, worth a remarkable 9,565 trillion Kroner a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 485,106 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, the government is constantly producing new maps to accommodate the continual renaming of cities, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Politiania's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Politiania is ranked 2,496^th in the world and 2^nd in Kerbin for Largest Governments, scoring 52.32 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
