The State of Mundus Prime is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.335 billion Mundus Primeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The very strong Mundus Primean economy, worth 581 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 31,698 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 215,513 per year while the poor average 1,703, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, military funding has been stripped back, Mundus Prime has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and the Governor has just been declared ruler of Mundus Prime in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Mundus Prime's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mundus Prime is ranked 288,316^th in the world and 623^rd in Ancient Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 34.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
