The Holy Empire of Pogaria is a behemoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Emmanuel with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 51.273 billion Pogarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dominion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The enormous but underdeveloped Pogarian economy, worth a remarkable 4,739 trillion kosses a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 92,442 kosses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

At least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Emperor Emmanuel's wardrobe, designer truncheons are the latest law enforcement fashion craze, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and the nation's smallest phoenixball teams trade draft picks for a free lunch. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pogaria's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Truthism.

Pogaria is ranked 331,856^th in the world and 3^rd in The Empire for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -39.03 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
