The Stratocratic Republic of Porotia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Nenad Stosic with an iron fist, and remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 12.163 billion Porotians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic 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 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Porotian economy, worth a remarkable 1,769 trillion Poroes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,504 Poroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's economic policies have a narrow area of effect, the clergy of Orthodox Judaism remains a single-sex institution, every day is laundry day, and legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Judaism.

Porotia is ranked 136,847th in the world and 117th in Fifth Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,336.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
