The Cybernetic Republic of Protoland is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by King Crypto with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.541 billion Protolandians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Proto-City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Protolandian economy, worth 913 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 139,683 bitcoins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 753,616 per year while the poor average 13,435, a ratio of 56.1 to 1.

King Crypto has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, proprietary charger leads are now a pain for electric cars as well as cellphones, praying at the office can see you terminated for napping, and confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle". Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Protoland's national animal is the synth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Protoland is ranked 3,606^th in the world and 2^nd in Foxtopia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 162.91 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
