The Armed Republic of The 41st Podrian Coastal Defence Battery is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 1.39 billion 41st Podrian Coastal Defence Batteryians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 30.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped 41st Podrian Coastal Defence Batteryian economy, worth 57.0 trillion soggy assembly notes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Average income is 41,001 soggy assembly notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 41st Podrian Coastal Defence Battery's national animal is the sea serpent.

The 41st Podrian Coastal Defence Battery is ranked 84,097^th in the world and 4^th in Astatontingedoan Peninsula for Nudest, with 180 cheeks per square mile.
