The Republic of Polarixid is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Krzysztof Marcinewicz with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.28 billion Polarixidians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warsaw. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Polarixidian economy, worth a remarkable 1,792 trillion Złoties a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 193,173 Złoties, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-tourism militias patrol the borders, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, and officer recruitment and police brutality have reached an all-time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Polarixid's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Polarixid is ranked 258,241st in the world and 26th in New World Union for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
