The Confederation of Pryskiva is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Arker D Rostson with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 916 million Pryskivans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volzoborn City. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pryskivan economy, worth 93.9 trillion Arbøns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,537 Arbøns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Teenage girls worry that they'll be unpopular if their skirts aren't short enough, business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pryskiva's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pryskiva is ranked 116,074^th in the world and 42^nd in Hive for Most Corrupt Governments, with 8.44 kickbacks per hour.
