The Empire of Porense is a mid-sized, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 50 million Porenseans 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 Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 25.5%.

The Porensean economy, worth 2.01 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,210 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Porense's national animal is the dove.

Porense is ranked 192,655^th in the world and 253^rd in Edoca for Highest Poor Incomes, with 21,405.73 Standard Monetary Units.
