We would all starve because we'd be too busy arguing whether Queen or Radiohead should be allowed in at the border, to secure a proper food supply. Proto-Prog and Prog-Related would be provinces that would tolerate us. Barely. Not many other countries would.

What do you think our government type would be? Constitutional Monarchy, liberal but with strong traditions (Chosen by God but woith limitations)
Who would be our Allies? Enemies? Allies would be some Metal sites, enemie only one Talk Punk who usually speak cr*p about Prog, Pop sites would be like big countries without real traditionswho don't care about us and rivals of course the other Prog sites.
What would our flag and map look like?  Where and on what continent would it be on? A small traditional country in Europe or a big country like Argentina in Latin America, essentially traditional.
What would our name be? Progburger.
We would be divided in 18 counties (Sub-genres) with a central administration, some civil wars created by prejudices more than for objective ccauses.

Progarchives has a long turbulent history. Progarchives is more of a confedaration than a nation. It's inhabitants are a mix of all different tastes and political stripes.
Within the confedaration there are many kingdoms. The Symphonic Prog Kingdom of Lord Melgar Morey, the Art Rock Kingdom of R(ush), the Zeuhl Kingdom of Ree, the Neo Kingdom of Cyg and Stone, the Folk Kingdom of Huuges, the Post Rock Kingdom of Bryan, and the Confedaration of Prog Metal among a few others.
The Confedaration of Prog Metal is usually at war with all other kingdoms, and it has no true leader itself because of it's divided platforms of TlossForWords' Dream Theaterites and Trickster's Black Metal goblins. The only the Prog Metal team agrees on is that the rest of the Progarchives realm hates them more than they scream at each other. One of the Prog Metal Lords even departed from his kingdom because he felt more divisions were necessary.
There is also a history of the Neo team, it's small and consistent, but they revolutionize new ways to hate Neo everyday. Everyonce in awhile, they agitate more Prog Kingdoms than the Prog Metal Confedaration.
The longest battle perhaps is always going on between Symphonic Kingdom and the Prog Metal Confedaration. The Symphonic Kingdom with it's long epic songs is still waging war on the Prog Metal Confedaration arguing the twenty-plus minute Foxtrot is really longer than the 42 minute Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. Pain of Salvation BEites can't decide which side they are on. While Neo fans assimilate into Dream Theaterietes because of those guitar solos over atmospheric keyboards on the awe-inspiring Falling Into Infinity.
Over the realm of Progarchives there exists an objective right and wrong that Prog is better than all other sounds. The government is a economically unified Communist Utopia lead by Trotsky and his collaborators.
What's the future of Progarchives? The populous is eagerly awating the year 2112 and that sh*t in Tales From Topographic Oceans!

I usually imagine this place as a school rather than a country... Now who wants to egg principal Tony's car after class?

I love this!!:
What do you think our government type would be?: Socio-democratic 
Who would be our Allies? Enemies?: We would allie with Gamefaqs.com, and The La's forum. Full of great people. Our enemies would be Punk Rock forums and other forms of anti-prog music and anti-peacefulness.
What would our flag and map look like?: Our flag would be the In Search of the Lost Chord album cover. the map of the land would resemble Middle Earth.
Where and on what continent would it be on?: Just Middle Earth! 
What would our name be?: The Land of Grey and Pink

Tony R would be the leader of everyone, even controlling his own officials with an iron fist. Alas, we will revolt and take over, bringing peace to the land at last.

How are you able to turn an harmful and intelligent thread in an attack against everybody for not letting you destroy this place with your usual nonsense?
If Tony and the Adms would have been not even dictators only strict, you should have been banned already, you have been allowed to do more than what you deserve.
Tony has saved your arse a lot of times when others including me wanted you out.

Great thread, Zepology 101 
The only thing I have an issue with is the currency; how dare you suggest we should use anything other than the £ Sterling, as a representative currency from the very home of progressive rock!
+++strains of "Land Of Hope & Glory" heard in the background+++
I like Bern's piccie though - he can be on the back of the bank note - the front of course would feature Peter Gabriel in front of a woodcut depicting the public execution of Phil Collins
As has been alluded to previously, though, it would not take long for full scale civil war to break out.

I resent these constant accusations of the Symphonic Kingdom having hostile intentions toward the Metal Confederation. Lord Ivan has never approved a weapons grade music program, nor does he intend to. We do not have secret labs developing symphonic metal, and ... (an aide approaches, and whispers in my ear).
Despite the rumors, that incident last Monday was not a nuclear amplification test. It was just an earthquake.

What If Prog Archives was a Country?
it would be a small European Principality with constant civil unrest, with plans to increase its borders!
The Revolutionary Purist Front are the primary agitators in the country, and a thorn in the side of the Government! 
His Highness The Crown Prince of Prog Archives!
The Prime Minister of Prog Archives.
Minister of Education.
Minister of Fun.

I like the name Progia, I think I'll copy that (with Zepology's permission of course)
Progia is a country that is always looking to the future and willing to embrace new ideas but is still bound by tradition. Many citizens feel that the 'Golden Era of Progia' has passed and that Progia will never reach the heights it did before the punk wars, however others feel that another goldern era is about to begin.
There are many regions within Progia each with their own traditions, most citizens move between the regions sampling their local delicacies but others prefer to stay in one region.
Despite a halt to the hostilities the borders remain heavily guarded to prevent another Punk invasion.

What do you think our government type would be?
Hopefully Anarchy that could actually work in practice (which of course is not possible) or some kind of Capitalist-comunism if you catch my drift
Who would be our Allies? Enemies? Our Allies?
Well I think any group of intelligent and respectfull people and maybe the Heavy Metal nation. I dont think we would have enemies, but our relationships with the Punks would not be the best.
What would our flag and map look like?
Probably we would have some cover album...I think Larks tongue in Aspic would make a great flag. And map...I dont know
Where and on what continent would it be on?
mmm...Europe I guess, as most prog comes from there... But I say Oceania would be better, nice weather, not too many neighbour countrys that can get on our nerves...
What would our name be?
Utopia
