The Rogue Nation of Proxyvania is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.666 billion Proxyvanians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Spirituality, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.5%.

The all-consuming Proxyvanian economy, worth 344 trillion bucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 73,870 bucks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 413,896 per year while the poor average 6,541, a ratio of 63.3 to 1.

Churches frequently hold public 'contraception burnings', a major religion has been named as Proxyvania's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Proxyvania in an international press conference, and Proxyvania has designated Proxyvania City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Proxyvania's national animal is the Cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Proxyvania is ranked 119,153^rd in the world and 6^th in The Celestial Archipelago for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 84.85 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
