The Republic of Pravosia is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 533 million Pravosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ropatan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.8%.

The all-consuming Pravosian economy, worth 49.5 trillion Charltines a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,818 Charltines, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Builders across Pravosia are blocked up with orders for new public loos, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, and polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pravosia's national animal is the Bottlenose Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Pravosia is ranked 114,333^rd in the world and 26^th in Tarkin for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,904.13 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
