The Holy Empire of Popio is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Lucius Artorius Castus with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 10.198 billion Popioans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vinland. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Popioan economy, worth 958 trillion Bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,946 Bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBP Governor goes house hunting, refugees from other nations are flocking to Popio's border, and politicians have seen a significant reduction in followers on their social media accounts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Popio's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Popio is ranked 119,700^th in the world and 1,571^st in The East Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 140.31 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
