The Anomaly Research Zone of Progressa Island

“If God exists, then all His will. If not, then I'm- God”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Anomaly Research Zone of Progressa Island is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Trofim Lysenko with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, enslaved workforce, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.495 billion inhabitants of the Island of Progress are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magnitoshakhtinsk. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Progressa Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,132 trillion Shastis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 224,602 Shastis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Museum visitors often bring lemons and black lights, black gold is looking more brown these days, the economy is green and the air is black, and children are brutally beaten for saying gyatt and skibidi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Progressa Island's national animal is the Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Cult of Personality of Lysenko.

Progressa Island is ranked 11,314^th in the world and 417^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,034.58 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
