The Protectorate of Via Lactea is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 11.862 billion Via Lacteans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Via Lactean economy, worth 398 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 33,578 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Via Lactea's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Via Lactea is ranked 12,573rd in the world and 1st in Greater Via Lactea for Most Stationary, with 1,991.4163643816 days.
