Polok is a nation based on the principals of the collective society, in which the people are put first and foremost. Free enterprise is encouraged but businesses are regulated to make sure power remains with in the workers and not just the executives. This system has allowed Polok to bring itself out of the turmoil which engrossed the nation after the 7th war, which, at its end, saw the integration of the four major clans into one nation and the establishment of the nexus. The people of Polok enjoy a very good amount of civil rights, such as the right to free speech and press. In its past Polok has been a more agressive nation, but this was ended centuries ago when the government imposed reforms, making Polok more open. Polok is also heavily involved in space exploration. All people of Polok earn average to high wages, brought upon by the massive economy and the governments business policies, unlike most business-orientated nations Polok has not been swamped by fat-cats and executives. | Polok is a nation based on the principals of the collective society, in which the people are put first and foremost.

Polok is a nation based on the principals of the collective society, in which the people are put first and foremost. Free enterprise is encouraged but businesses are regulated to make sure power remains with in the workers and not just the executives. This system has allowed Polok to bring itself out of the turmoil which engrossed the nation after the 7th war, which, at its end, saw the integration of the four major clans into one nation and the establishment of the nexus. The people of Polok enjoy a very good amount of civil rights, such as the right to free speech and press. In its past Polok has been a more agressive nation, but this was ended centuries ago when the government imposed reforms, making Polok more open. Polok is also heavily involved in space exploration. All people of Polok earn average to high wages, brought upon by the massive economy and the governments business policies, unlike most business-orientated nations Polok has not been swamped by fat-cats and executives.
The economy of Polok has gone from strength to strength after the establishment of the nexus. Polok currently has the largest GDP in the Imperium by a substantial lead. The collective society guarantees the common worker as many rights as the executive. In Polok business is still just as potent as in a capitalist economy, but with a few major differences. Usually in business-orientated nations businesses are huge companies run by few people who pay themselves massive bonus' and can relatively do what ever they like. In Polok businesses are still quite large but they have less power, instead more power is delegated to the worker. Anti-monopoly laws prevent one company from dominating the market, encouraging competition and thus lower prices and higher standards. Companies must meet strict quotas and are run indirectly by the workers themselves. Every employee owns an equal share of their company, despite their hierarchal position. Thus the common worker has a say in how the company is run and is treated as an equal, instead of an expendable tool. There is a certain degree of regulation on salaries in Polok. In most cases one would notice no difference from wages in a capitalist economy; the difference comes when one gets to the extreme wages of the big businessmen. They still earn money relative to the work they must do and if it requires any advanced knowledge, they can not earn extortionate amounts of money which are completely inproportionate to the work they do, as is the case in more capitalist countries. Of course in a free-market there will still be variations in earnings even if workers practice in similar conditions. In some cases, such as the IT industry, companies have grown quite large, but due to our economic policies Polok has developed a system whereby business flourishes with out having fat-cats and disproportionate representation in companies.
