The Empire of Pog Moments is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 792 million Poggers 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 Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 47.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong pog champ economy, worth 54.7 trillion V-bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 69,049 V-bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

End-of-year production reports state that the revolution is really going with a bang, bars are packed at all hours, pizzerias must now display shrines to the Pizza God, and the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pog Moments's national animal is the Chungus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pog Moments is ranked 118,030^th in the world and 2,596^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 311 billion Standard Monetary Units.
