The Republic of Poria Tar is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 4.38 billion Poria Tarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Poria Tarian economy, worth 69.3 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 15,826 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poria Tar's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
