The Republic of Porunus is a small, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 32 million Porunusians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The very strong Porunusian economy, worth 2.14 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is 66,921 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 197,228 per year while the poor average 17,868, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Porunus's national animal is the Dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Porunus is ranked 2,317^th in the world and 6^th in Edoca for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,818.08 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
