The Cybernetic Republic of Protoland is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Crypto with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.938 billion Protolandians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

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 18.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Protolandian economy, worth 977 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 frequent. Average income is an impressive 140,859 bitcoins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 747,898 per year while the poor average 14,015, a ratio of 53.4 to 1.

Traditional vegetarians are fuming over the introduction of vat-grown meat to the menu, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, you're only as old as you feel, and teenagers sit around on their butts all day. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-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 254,808th in the world and 18th in Foxtopia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 60.08 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
