The Empire of King Porky is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 632 million Porkies are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Pork City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Porky economy, worth 93.2 trillion Dragon Powers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 147,461 Dragon Powers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,139,163 per year while the poor average 5,037, a ratio of 226 to 1.
Lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies, rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row, graffiti graces every city's streets, and agricultural employees work for peanuts. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. King Porky's national animal is the Pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
King Porky is ranked 255,772nd in the world and 190th in Capitalist Paradise for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -18.44 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
