The Walkman of Priority is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.436 billion Priorityians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Priorityian economy, worth 268 trillion bad bad hats a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,183 bad bad hats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, and the nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Priority's national animal is the bad bad hat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Priority is ranked 300,067th in the world and 7th in Summercrest for Highest Drug Use, scoring 17.66 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
