The Empire of Pogging Through The Pain is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Our Glorious Emperor Jacob Snykenhower with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.853 billion Pogging Through The Painians 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Pogtopia. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Pogging Through The Painian economy, worth 878 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 228,004 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Bilingual Pogging Through The Painians are viewed with suspicion, the only place where one can see the Pogging Through The Painian cherry tree is in a museum, 90% of active duty PTTPAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, and maintaining economic growth is no laughing matter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pogging Through The Pain's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Pogism.
Pogging Through The Pain is ranked 263,932nd in the world and 1,211th in The Communist Bloc for Most Stationary, with 13.7514148102 days.
