The State of Provenzano is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 6.447 billion Provenzanoans are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 34.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Provenzanoan economy, worth 61.9 trillion betales 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese 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 9,602 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surveillance cameras are banned, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Provenzano's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Provenzano is ranked 46,361st in the world and 8th in The Realm of Freedom for Most Stationary, with 942.08104984552 days.
