The United Socialist States of Primirestan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Josh Prims with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 10.419 billion Primires enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Benglor. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Primirere economy, worth a remarkable 1,619 trillion Primirsre Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 155,420 Primirsre Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, a surprising number of police officers have been arrested for Dog sacrifices, stony-faced ratings board panelists are unamused by free lap dances, and ghost regiments exist only on paper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Primirestan's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Bread.

Primirestan is ranked 289,236^th in the world and 11,231^st in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -21.72 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
