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

The Commonwealth of Second Provania is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Denelda del Wapello with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.775 billion Provanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Puerto de La Santa Dolores. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Provanian economy, worth 796 trillion Becks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 166,733 Becks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The undead are an officially recognised ethnic minority (Second Provania has found 1 easter egg), kindhearted Provanians generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries, resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, and foreign leaders are advising that Prime Minister Denelda del Wapello's letters must have gotten lost in the mail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Second Provania's national animal is the Common Black Hatcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Beckism.

Second Provania is ranked 249,606^th in the world and 3,563^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.9 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
