The Slava Protrisku of Protrichska is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kvadrat Aleksandrovish Kvadratov with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.043 billion Protrichskans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mokrikagrad. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Protrichskan economy, worth 447 trillion Protrichskan dojars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 110,750 Protrichskan dojars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, barges of dissidents are being "reeducated through water therapy" in the South Square Sea, genetic research is temporarily tied up in government red tape, and it is well recognised that you can't sustain communism without a bit of spirit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Protrichska's national animal is the square, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Kvadratovism.

Protrichska is ranked 40,050^th in the world and 1^st in Squareworld for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 23,674.73 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
