The Empire of Prevails is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Emperor George IV with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and digital currency. The compassionate population of 3.738 billion Prevailsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City of Victoria. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Prevailsian economy, worth 639 trillion Royal Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,132 Royal Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, P-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, the economy is green and the air is black, and school football matches are usually five-a-side. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prevails's national animal is the Sabretooth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orwenism.

Prevails is ranked 322,973^rd in the world and 233^rd in The League for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 20.02 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
