The State of Prairiegrass is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tommy Smith with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, compulsory vegetarianism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.211 billion Prairiegrassians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felinapolis. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Prairiegrassian economy, worth 106 trillion Wheatons a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 48,015 Wheatons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army consists of only generals and grunts, organ donation rates have hit a new low, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, and visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prairiegrass's national animal is the Prairie Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Prairiegrass is ranked 281,132nd in the world and 10,502nd in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.64 kickbacks per hour.
