The Community of Protactaria is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 446 million Protactarians 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Praseodymia. The average income tax rate is 65.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Protactarian economy, worth 38.4 trillion Bals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 86,121 Bals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, bemused schoolkids colour in their favourite quadratic equations with crayons, the Praseodymia Women's Prison Choir now has a baritone section, and saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Protactaria's national animal is the Thimble Jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Protactaria is ranked 293,954^th in the world and 264^th in 10000 Islands for Most Devout, with 6.82 prayers per hour.
