The Technocratic Hegemony of Poravor is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Administrator Trivestat with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.369 billion Poravorians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Enhram. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Poravorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,245 trillion Krenels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 169,018 Krenels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Poravorian government claim that Poravorians are oppressed out of love, the army consists of only generals and grunts, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Poravor's national animal is the Roomba, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of Progress.

Poravor is ranked 5,505th in the world and 17th in The Black Hawks for Lowest Crime Rates, with 113.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
