The Holy Empire's Protectorate of Sorcery is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by The Regency Council with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 7.74 billion Sorcerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dirlodim Taoul. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Sorcerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,365 trillion Shillings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 176,423 Shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, the right to counsel goes both ways, former gun owners are finding that brandishing paintball guns isn't as satisfying as the real thing, and therapists can always squeeze in another house-call. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sorcery's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ipeonic imperial cult.

Sorcery is ranked 328,272^nd in the world and 26^th in Sky Haven for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -17.06 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
