The Affirmative Advancement of Figment of Progress is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Figlord Techno with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, aversion to nipples, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 5.166 billion Boffins are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Tomorrow. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boffinic economy, worth 682 trillion dinarios a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 132,071 dinarios, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In this vegetarian nation the delicious smell of roasted meat is oddly commonplace, the government has heavily invested in badly drawn monkeys, movies depict muscle-bound women kicking down a titanium door to carry hysterical men to safety, and Figlord Techno consults the market before choosing breakfast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Figment of Progress's national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is a progressive religion.

Figment of Progress is ranked 90,936^th in the world and 5^th in The Figment Factory for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,370.34 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
