The Stratocratic Republic of Porotia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Nenad Stosic with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, zero percent divorce rate, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.847 billion Porotians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Telograv. The average income tax rate is 89.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Porotian economy, worth a remarkable 1,074 trillion Poroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,940 Poroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, military spending recently hit a new high, ceremonial zweihänders are used in holy rituals, and even God cannot save you in Porotia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Porotia's national animal is the Porotian Spikeball, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism.

Porotia is ranked 13,376^th in the world and 20^th in Fifth Empire for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,398.73 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
