The Furries of Protogen Pals is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Dexterat Fuzzy Wolf with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.735 billion Protogens enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Midwest FurFest. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Protogen Palsian economy, worth 500 trillion Rams a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 183,061 Rams, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Students do more community service than homework, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps, and sweet-toothed Protogens have been left penniless by the VAT on candy. Crime is totally unknown. Protogen Pals's national animal is the Protogen, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Protogen Mindset.

Protogen Pals is ranked 17,950^th in the world and 12^th in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,551.2 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
