The République of Popaholick is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jacqueline St-Miquelon with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, unlimited-speed roads, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 26.581 billion Popaholickans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marseille. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Popaholickan economy, worth a remarkable 9,902 trillion Francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 372,545 Francs, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

The Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Marseille, and the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence. Crime is totally unknown. Popaholick's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Popaholick is ranked 7,522nd in the world and 32nd in Europe for Most Stationary, with 2,704.39665807392 days.
