The Rogue Nation of Protrant is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 152 million Protrantians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.8%.

The strong Protrantian economy, worth 9.97 trillion Moles of Ag a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 65,583 Moles of Ag, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 423,607 per year while the poor average 4,086, a ratio of 103 to 1.

Flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, parents must decide between buying food and taking their children to the park, the weather in Protrant City is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', and in government offices a hidden killer takes the lives of ministers and civil servants. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Protrant's national animal is the Hedgehog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Protrant is ranked 244,071^st in the world and 5,605^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 84.03 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
