The People's Republic of Progfatal is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Chairperson Ivan Yezhov with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.621 billion Progfatalians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sud'ba. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Progfatalian economy, worth 862 trillion moiras 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. 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 238,067 moiras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Progfatal's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Progfatal's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Progfatal is ranked 4,190th in the world and 1st in United Fascist Workers Association for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 96.42 Effective Tax Rate.
