The Free Land of Prometheians is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Chancellor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.617 billion Prometheians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Light. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Prometheian economy, worth a remarkable 1,361 trillion banknotes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 157,975 banknotes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In pet stores nationwide phoenixes are growing in popularity, new urban roads are threatening city parks, Prometheians's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines. Crime is totally unknown. Prometheians's national animal is the phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Prometheians is ranked 298^th in the world and 13^th in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 16,627.21 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
