The Commonwealth of Pontinia is a small, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning eagle population. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 8 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.


The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18%. A substantial private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, followed by Basket Weaving and Pizza Delivery.


Voting is voluntary. Crime is moderate. Pontinia's national animal is the eagle and its currency is the sovereign.

Pontinia is ranked 72,754th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.

Pontinia is a strong believer in, and protector of, human rights and freedoms.
