The Matriarchal Terrorist Group of The Polar Nation is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Worthy Leader Sami Sessersuaq with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, lack of airports, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.256 billion Polar Nation people 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Environment are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the South Pole HQ. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.1%.

The strong Polar Nation economy, worth 103 trillion stolen goods a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 82,349 stolen goods, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, immigrants complain that natives keep coming over and taking their jobs, vaccinations are mandatory, and property subletting is going underground. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. The Polar Nation's national animal is the tropical, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Polar Nation is ranked 76,993rd in the world and 22nd in Gypsy Lands for Highest Average Incomes, with 82,349.19 Standard Monetary Units.
