The Empire of Promo is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Nolan Ventia with an even hand, and notable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 12.726 billion Promoans 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 tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Promo City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Promoan economy, worth a remarkable 3,282 trillion Pomas a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 257,902 Pomas, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Adjacent suburbs build competing earthworks to force the other neighbourhood to flood first, representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, pop stars who make it big overseas are hailed as economic heroes, and foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Promo's national animal is the Blue Jay, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Tatana.

Promo is ranked 5,662nd in the world and 7th in Anteria for Highest Average Incomes, with 257,902.63 Standard Monetary Units.
