The Prison Complex of Literally a Prison is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Prison Warden with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, otherworldly petting zoo, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.026 billion Prisoners 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of a giant prison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.1%.

The strong imprisoned economy, worth 361 trillion counterfeits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 89,670 counterfeits, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Heroes long thought dead are promptly killed upon their return, people are often woken up by rubbish music, it is firmly believed that cameras steal souls, and theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Literally a Prison's national animal is the racoon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Imprisonment.

Literally a Prison is ranked 50,669^th in the world and 1^st in Nova Libertatia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,295.91 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
