The Lunar Sway of Prospit is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The White Queen with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 11.403 billion Prospitians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kingdom of Light. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Prospitian economy, worth a remarkable 1,303 trillion Boondollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 114,308 Boondollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise, primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, few that venture into government archives are ever seen again, and signs stating "You Must be This Tall to Enter" have started appearing outside retirement homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prospit's national animal is the Prospit Dreamer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Chess.

Prospit is ranked 4,482^nd in the world and 277^th in The North Pacific for Best Weather, with 323 Meters Of Sunlight.
