The Holy Empire's Protectorate of Sorcery is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Regency Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 7.945 billion Sorcerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous 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 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Sorcerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,433 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 dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 180,425 Shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Urban parents tell their children that the family car went to a farm upstate, shouting contests are an important part of government job interviews, The Regency Council's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, and kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 29,749^th in the world and 1^st in Sky Haven for Highest Drug Use, scoring 348 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
