The Cybernetic Republic of Protoland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Crypto with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.341 billion Protolandians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Proto-City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Protolandian economy, worth 406 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 121,769 bitcoins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 645,515 per year while the poor average 12,156, a ratio of 53.1 to 1.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, commercial breaks often lead to nervous breakdowns, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Protoland's national animal is the synth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Protoland is ranked 323,548th in the world and 21st in Foxtopia for Most Pacifist, with 5 cheeks turned per day.
