The Chiefdom of -Priola- is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Polo Nirte with an iron fist, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.084 billion Priolans are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ife. The average income tax rate is 58.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Priolan economy, worth 39.2 trillion Orcrits 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 Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is 18,832 Orcrits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, members of majority races are forced out of their homes to make way for Bigtopians, and the government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Priola-'s national animal is the Red Bellied Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Children of the Meteor.

-Priola- is ranked 304,858^th in the world and 10^th in Solidarity for Highest Average Incomes, with 18,832.86 Standard Monetary Units.
