The Republic of Prumia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Grand Consul Seymour Arkend with an even hand, and renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 30.057 billion Prumians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olstain. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Prumian economy, worth a remarkable 6,480 trillion Hentils a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 215,591 Hentils, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,142,872 per year while the poor average 21,523, a ratio of 53.1 to 1.

Cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, blocks empty out when a Bigtopian family moves in down the road, dictators have dubbed Prumia the land of lunatics, and Grand Consul Seymour Arkend reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prumia's national animal is the Osprey, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Prumia is ranked 143,876^th in the world and 3^rd in Coalition of Sovereign Nations for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,197.4 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
