The Kingdom of Prydania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Tobias III Loðbrók with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 11.815 billion Prydanians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Býkonsviði. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Prydanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,395 trillion Krosses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,085 Krosses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, and King Tobias III Loðbrók's new political program is often mockingly called 'Capitalism with a Bigtopian face'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prydania's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Laurenist Messianism.

Prydania is ranked 232,004^th in the world and 8,765^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -313.55 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
