The Provincial Union of Principalium is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Governor-Councillor Wilhelm with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.399 billion Principaliumians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Centricips. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Principaliumian economy, worth 408 trillion Princis a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 170,387 Princis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stocks go up when the internet says so, the nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, and online text-based nation-simulation games require you to prove you're a sovereign country before you can play. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Principalium's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judeo-Bolshevism.

Principalium is ranked 6,650^th in the world and 4^th in Markion for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5,614.16 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
