The Kingdom of Pompadorea is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by King George Wintsnor IX with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.054 billion Pompadoreans 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Londus. The average income tax rate is 36.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Pompadorean economy, worth a remarkable 1,007 trillion Rodins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 100,219 Rodins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, the tenet of free speech is held dear, foreign converts are illuminated by both missionaries and helicopter searchlights, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pompadorea's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Azureism.

Pompadorea is ranked 225,136^th in the world and 93^rd in Aceon for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 291.53 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
