The Empire of Pog Moments is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 860 million Poggers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The pog champ economy, worth 60.5 trillion V-bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 70,379 V-bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

End-of-year production reports state that the revolution is really going with a bang, bars are packed at all hours, pizzerias must now display shrines to the Pizza God, and the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pog Moments's national animal is the Chungus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pog Moments is ranked 183,311^th in the world and 7,462^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -3.46 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
