The Kingdom of Prayd is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Glavis with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 14.493 billion Praydians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karnsbern. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Praydian economy, worth a remarkable 1,769 trillion Margoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 122,066 Margoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elite teams of assassins have been sent into Brasilistan, diplomats miss flights while wandering Karnsbern Airport's endless art maze, arbitration is mightier than the sword, and nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prayd's national animal is the Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Prayd is ranked 305,170^th in the world and 16,255^th in Osiris for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -7.48 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
