The Star Kingdom of Prudentias is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Svensgaard with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, humorless, devout population of 8.02 billion Prudentians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prudentia. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Prudentian economy, worth a remarkable 1,645 trillion Credits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 205,186 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations, children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants, and vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prudentias's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Prudentias is ranked 253,872nd in the world and 3rd in Catholics for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 15,388.99 Standard Monetary Units.
