Nil.

There's a sufficient stipend to keep any Citizen (also, Resident or Juvenile) well above what would be considered poverty. Big economy, small population.

None. Those who can not keep themselves above the poverty line sell themselves into serfdom or join the National Labor Front and are paid government money to work on public works projects.
Dammed Marxists running about buggering sheep, and other such mischief. We really must do something about that.

19% of people exist on incomes less than 50% of the median income.

We don't "define poverty". Everybody in Fatatatutti is eligible for a guaranteed annual income, ehich should provide for his/her basic needs. There are also ample soup kichens and food banks, both private and government sponsored, as well as shelters and hostels. There is no need for anybody in Fatatatutti to "live in poverty". That's a relic of uncivilized nations.

Some people do choose the "simple life" - e.g. beach bums. Everybody is free to choose his/her own lifestyle.

We don't know, we don't keep track of stuff like this since it is not our concern.
FYI: I am not trying to be the Erusea in Ace Combat 4. The Erusean Republic is a mixture of most nations in the Ace combat world. SO don't say Lrn2Acecombat.

There is no poverty in Wintrixxa. People work not for money but to do their job, and afterwards they receive a moderately large government salary. Almost everyone is employed, working like ants: not for money, but for the benefit of the "Hive".

The United Duchies of Fedeledland has a level of 1.52% of poverty, as defined by the government's treshold (having an income of less than 65% of the national average). Of these, almost none is in exteme poverty thanks to the Fedeledlandese high amount of social equality programs.

The Advisory of Social Welfare & Equality estimates the number of Tsvarchivan families in poverty at 5.5%.

Poverty is defined as being unable to afford the basic necessities of life (shelter, food, water, clothes) on one's current income and/or savings.

Officially, the national poverty percentage is 14%

What is your government's qualifiers / justifiers as to what defines or decides as to whether or not a person is to be classified and categoried as living in povertty ? ( i.e. under what level of income does govt defined poverty prevail ? )
The government has defined that a family or individual is in poverty if they live on less than D30 (NS$15) a day and/or have no access to clean water and sanitation facilities.
