The United Kingdom of Praenestia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Praenestis Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.216 billion Praenestians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Praenestiaopolis. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Praenestian economy, worth a remarkable 7,031 trillion Sesterceses a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 249,206 Sesterceses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, reams of paperwork signed in triplicate have taken the magic out of magic, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, and asthmatics can now suffer the effects of polluting chimneys from further away than ever before. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Praenestia's national animal is the Dire Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ultra Catholicism.

Praenestia is ranked 4,235th in the world and 180th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 182 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
