The Federal Republic of Propwash is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 25.251 billion Propwashians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corraine. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Propwashian economy, worth a remarkable 2,989 trillion Coles a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,384 Coles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every week is blindness awareness week, too many developers spoil the codebase, prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, and government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Propwash's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Propwash is ranked 10,144^th in the world and 173^rd in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 422.54 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
