The Democratic Republic of Progressivism is a huge, genial nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 963 million Progressivismians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Progressivismian economy, worth 36.1 trillion Tokens a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Woodchip Exports industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,486 Tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, a lack of funding for new shows has turned television into 24/7 re-runs, it's best not to ask what goes into Progressivism City Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, and the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Progressivism's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Progressivism is ranked 12,459^th in the world and 300^th in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 118.62 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
