The Commonwealth of Progressivaria is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Kestrel Kate with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 9.444 billion Progressivarians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Waterdeep. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Progressivarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,210 trillion electrums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 128,148 electrums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas, and political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Progressivaria's national animal is the red panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Progressivaria is ranked 2,517^th in the world and 1^st in The Transgender Region for Nicest Citizens, with 65.95 average smiles per day.
