The God's Mighty Empire of Protasof is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Boris Chevonesk with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The democratic, humorless, devout population of 15.82 billion Prota's have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Defense, although Education, Environment, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zerbatsgrad. The average income tax rate is 81.5%.

The very strong Prota economy, worth a remarkable 1,143 trillion Brens a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,297 Brens, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Bronze and marble supplies are running low as sculptors depict full-figured subjects, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, Zerbatsgrad's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, and Prota watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Protasof's national animal is the Iceclaw bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Catholic.

Protasof is ranked 277,678^th in the world and 51^st in The Democratic Republic for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -9.8 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
