The Hallowed Nation of Prismaria is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Empress of Light with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.205 billion Prismarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irisia. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Prismarian economy, worth 283 trillion Prismatic dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,597 Prismatic dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, and moonshine has made a resurgence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prismaria's national animal is the Prismatic Lacewing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Prismaria is ranked 285,185^th in the world and 6,126^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -14.29 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
