The Hallowed Nation of Prismaria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Empress of Light with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.286 billion Prismarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irisia. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Prismarian economy, worth 274 trillion Prismatic dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,493 Prismatic dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prismaria's national animal is the Prismatic Lacewing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Prismaria is ranked 49,037^th in the world and 1,543^rd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 150.34 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
