The Holy Empire of Pogaria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Emmanuel with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 45.267 billion Pogarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dominion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The enormous but sluggish Pogarian economy, worth a remarkable 3,642 trillion kosses a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 80,456 kosses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

At least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Emperor Emmanuel's wardrobe, designer truncheons are the latest law enforcement fashion craze, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and the nation's smallest phoenixball teams trade draft picks for a free lunch. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pogaria's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Truthism.

Pogaria is ranked 661st in the world and 1st in The Empire for Lowest Crime Rates, with 183.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
