The Holy Empire's Protectorate of Sorcery is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by The Regency Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 7.794 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 1,385 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 177,756 Shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people, the government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly, everybody's got wood thanks to The Regency Council, and every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts. 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 4,158^th in the world and 4^th in Sky Haven for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 19,267.97 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
