The Pontians of Porphyry Copper is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mithridates the Great Pontian with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 19.706 billion Pontians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Pontian economy, worth a remarkable 2,664 trillion Staters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is an impressive 135,216 Staters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, only adults may purchase violent video games, the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, and families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs. Crime is totally unknown. Porphyry Copper's national animal is the Golden Fleece, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Porphyry Copper is ranked 257,011th in the world and 8,357th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 16.18733686232 days.
