The Federal Republic of Porotia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Nenad Stosic with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.9 billion Porotians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Telograv. The average income tax rate is 59.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Porotian economy, worth 297 trillion Poroes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,489 Poroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's best to decline if Nenad Stosic offers to buy a round of drinks, people say chess victor Nenad Stosic can kill you with mind-bullets, captured Brasilistani POWs are staying in 5-star hotels, and fur coats have become the latest fashion trend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Porotia's national animal is the Porotian Wood Mouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Porotia is ranked 49,819^th in the world and 2,433^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,741.07 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
