The Holy Empire's Protectorate of Sorcery is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by The Regency Council with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ritual sacrifices, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 7.758 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 1,371 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 176,832 Shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The right to counsel goes both ways, former gun owners are finding that brandishing paintball guns isn't as satisfying as the real thing, therapists can always squeeze in another house-call, and frequent flyers are chiseled into statues. 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 4,238^th in the world and 4^th in Sky Haven for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 6,873.03 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
