The Protectorate of Postertag is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Fred with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.308 billion Postertagians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Postertag. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Postertagian economy, worth a remarkable 5,017 trillion Shiny Green Things a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 206,426 Shiny Green Things, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

There's nothing more Postertagian than revanchism, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', people on the brink of death are put through unwanted and stressful procedures, and foreign workers are flooding in as Shiny Green Things flood out. Crime is pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Postertag's national animal is the Scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Posters.

Postertag is ranked 43,137^th in the world and 2^nd in Albion for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 6,218.93 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
