The Profit collector of Profitropolis is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.763 billion Profitropolisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Card Palace. The average income tax rate is 53.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Profitropolisian economy, worth 560 trillion Profits 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Soda 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 318,126 Profits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Profitropolis Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', citizens compete to guess the time between the royal lady's contractions, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, and military chiefs are predicting extra funding in this year's budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Profitropolis's national animal is the Money, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Money.

Profitropolis is ranked 20,010^th in the world and 33^rd in the Plains of Perdition for Most Cultured, scoring 93 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
