The Community of Protactaria

“What's it to you?”

The Community of Protactaria is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 168 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. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Protactarian economy, worth 12.4 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 Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is 73,671 Bals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bars are packed at all hours, organisations with 800 in their phone number are often raided by special forces, the nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers, and innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury. 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 96,029^th in the world and 286^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Average Incomes, with 73,671.78 Standard Monetary Units.
