The Republic of Proscot is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 415 million Proscotians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 26.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Proscotian economy, worth 35.5 trillion tolars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,582 tolars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

When their backs are against the walls Proscotians look out for gay men, the pursuit of wanted criminals ends at the entrance of the pay'n'spray garage as police refuse to enter any private property, Leader's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, and skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Proscot's national animal is the rooster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Proscot is ranked 75,739^th in the world and 1,656^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.3 law-abiding acts per hour.
