“Lunctum ut unus ut occumbo valde tyrannus.”

The Free and Empowered Peoples of Porinn is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Premier Emil Zhukayivskiy with an iron fist, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed population of 3.078 billion 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goya-Boyedi. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Uranium Mining.

Cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, euthanasia is legal, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, and violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Porinn's national animal is the Southern Spotted Hound, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Roknaiy.

Porinn is ranked 359th in the region and 3,671st in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
