The Terrible Swift Sword of PRoC Guard is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 30.29 billion PRoC Guardians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small government prioritizes Law & Order, although Spirituality, Industry, and Defense are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.3%.

The thriving PRoC Guardian economy, worth a remarkable 1,245 trillion $$s a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 41,114 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, the Coast Guard is pioneering a quixotic program to train fish, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and the roar of the Niagara 3000 mega-loo can be heard several blocks away. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. PRoC Guard's national animal is the ^-^, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

PRoC Guard is ranked 96,793^rd in the world and 1^st in Peoples Republic of China for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 34.3 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
