The United Socialist States of La Proletariado is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 234 million La Proletariadoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped La Proletariadoan economy, worth 9.26 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 39,553 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections demand a proportionate response, farting etiquette is taught in schools, beaches are empty as the shark population multiplies exponentially, and raccoons are plump and satiated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. La Proletariado's national animal is the Carl Marks, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

La Proletariado is ranked 72,079^th in the world and 11^th in Aurora for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 133.42 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
