The Empire of Pruznia is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The devout population of 1.151 billion Pruznians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rasbik. The average income tax rate is 44.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Pruznian economy, worth 102 trillion Ziks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 89,201 Ziks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

One complaint of Pruznia's new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, and Leader has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pruznia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pruznia is ranked 37,924^th in the world and 1,978^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 62.66 on the Human Development Index.
