The Ulraznavian City of Pogoren is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 12.115 billion Pogorenians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 60.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Pogorenian economy, worth 739 trillion Coffee Beans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 61,050 Coffee Beans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, and women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pogoren's national animal is the Rat.

Pogoren is ranked 119,218th in the world and 62nd in Herta Space Station for Most Stationary, with 302.38496619572 days.
