The Kingdom of Free Prairie Provinces is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, absence of drug laws, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 437 million Prairisians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calgary Capital Region. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Prairisian economy, worth 46.3 trillion United States Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 106,059 United States Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 626,800 per year while the poor average 8,301, a ratio of 75.5 to 1.

The government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake", the smell of tobacco is often smelt around legislative buildings across the nation, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, and the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Prairie Provinces's national animal is the American Buffalo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Free Prairie Provinces is ranked 54,232^nd in the world and 1,306^th in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 53,878.24 Standard Monetary Units.
