The Federation of Prysk is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 241 million Ajarikans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 10.3%.

The strong Pryskian economy, worth 15.4 trillion Psarkas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 63,759 Psarkas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, you can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, and rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prysk's national animal is the Animal, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Prysk is ranked 140,139^th in the world and 1^st in Outpost for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,640.92 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
