The Empire of Prevails is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor George IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.228 billion Prevailsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City of Victoria. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Prevailsian economy, worth 188 trillion Royal Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,791 Royal Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots, everybody's got wood thanks to Emperor George IV, and sofas are perpetually on sales that Must End Soon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prevails's national animal is the Sabretooth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orwenism.

Prevails is ranked 136,394^th in the world and 235^th in The League for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,183.09 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
