The Kingdom of Prayd is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Glavis with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 14.292 billion Praydians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karnsbern. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Praydian economy, worth a remarkable 1,658 trillion Margoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 116,011 Margoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, the 'Museum Of Stuff We Stole' is a tourist favourite, there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, and carpet bombing has decimated Brasilistan's landscape and population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prayd's national animal is the Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Prayd is ranked 8,832^nd in the world and 444^th in Osiris for Most Developed, scoring 91.32 on the Human Development Index.
