The Holy Empire's Protectorate of Sorcery is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sorcerius XLIV with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, national health service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.85 billion Sorcerians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dirlodim Taoul. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Sorcerian economy, worth 591 trillion Shillings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 153,722 Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, and elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume. Crime is totally unknown. Sorcery's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ipeonic imperial cult.

Sorcery is ranked 302,053^rd in the world and 50^th in Sky Haven for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 5,841.45 Standard Monetary Units.
