The Droid Factories of Poggle the Lesser is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 24.923 billion Poggle the Lesserians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Law & Order, although Industry, Defense, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The powerhouse Poggle the Lesserian economy, worth a remarkable 1,055 trillion Robot Pieceses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 42,361 Robot Pieceses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 140,993 per year while the poor average 9,483, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Elections have been outlawed and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a problem. Poggle the Lesser's national animal is the Droid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Poggle the Lesser is ranked 324,275^th in the world and 69^th in Underworld for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -12.65 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
