The Cybernetic Republic of Protoland is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Crypto with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, pith helmet sales, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.086 billion Protolandians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Proto-City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Protolandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,002 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 141,538 bitcoins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 757,515 per year while the poor average 13,848, a ratio of 54.7 to 1.

Students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework, chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, King Crypto toils in solitude while relatives party on a remote tropical island, and much of Protoland's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Protoland's national animal is the synth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Protoland is ranked 30,196^th in the world and 3^rd in Foxtopia for Highest Average Incomes, with 141,538.77 Standard Monetary Units.
