The Empire of Promo is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Nolan Ventia with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 12.751 billion Promoans 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 tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Promo City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Promoan economy, worth a remarkable 3,288 trillion Pomas a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 257,902 Pomas, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Adjacent suburbs build competing earthworks to force the other neighbourhood to flood first, representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, pop stars who make it big overseas are hailed as economic heroes, and foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Promo's national animal is the Blue Jay, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Tatana.

Promo is ranked 137,164th in the world and 34th in Anteria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,310.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
