The Nation of Prochaska is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Marie Christiane Eleonore Prochaska with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.341 billion Prochaskans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of August Renz. The average income tax rate is 37.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Prochaskan economy, worth 377 trillion Suthercoatls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,973 Suthercoatls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, and blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Prochaska's national animal is the Vuetzalcoatl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jakaraikyo.

Prochaska is ranked 90,803^rd in the world and 6^th in Sunny Rocks for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 105.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
