The Federal Republic of Propwash is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.287 billion Propwashians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corraine. The average income tax rate is 66.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Propwashian economy, worth a remarkable 1,042 trillion Propwash Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,276 Propwash Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Snap elections are called over every minor impasse, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, the housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime is relatively low. Propwash's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Propwash is ranked 145,992^nd in the world and 5,700^th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 47.56 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
