The Profit collector of Profitropolis is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.788 billion Profitropolisians 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Card Palace. The average income tax rate is 56.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Profitropolisian economy, worth 577 trillion Profits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 322,782 Profits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Hammer and sickle-wielding space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, you can say what you like about the genocidal murderers that rule Profitropolis but at least the trains run on time, nervous homeowners have been blamed for rising death rates amongst carol singers and locksmiths, and theatre audiences often need a telescope to see the stage. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Profitropolis's national animal is the Money, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Money.

Profitropolis is ranked 37,934th in the world and 53rd in the Plains of Perdition for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,620.87 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
