New Republic of Proxland

The Republic of New Republic of Proxland is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 135 million New Republic of Proxlandians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient New Republic of Proxlandian economy, worth 6.32 trillion Rebels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,830 Rebels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", and a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Republic of Proxland's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

New Republic of Proxland is ranked 67,494th in the world and 1,967th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
