Promatia Government Website

This is the official website of the government of Promatia.

Website

Promatia is a new country project located in Northern Australia with its own government, currency and laws.

Our aspirations are to:

• Create a pragmatic government, led by citizens for citizens.
• Allow citizens to pursue their life goals, aided by our government.
• Develop cheap, modern infrastructure, to achieve truly high living standards.
• Modernize and digitize banking, education, governance and much more.
• Create a model for an environmentally-sustainable and economically-viable nation
• Create a safe and free society, where citizens can pursue their life goals.

We are always looking for new risk-loving and passionate citizens who want to start a new life in Promatia. Citizens can help through intellect, muscle, enterprise, finance or networking.
