The Federation of Posionjarvi Lake is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.188 billion Posionjarvi Lakeans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 64.0%.

The all-consuming Posionjarvi Lakean economy, worth 89.0 trillion gambles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,939 gambles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government insists that a ghost voted ten million times in the last election, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, cities in Posionjarvi Lake declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, and citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Posionjarvi Lake's national animal is the gamble, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Posionjarvi Lake is ranked 73,804^th in the world and 83^rd in Lakes in Finland for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
