The Republic of Prosperic is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 626 million Prospericans enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kotthagen. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Prosperican economy, worth 70.8 trillion Serics a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,121 Serics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Father of the House has been in office just shy of a fortnight, getting milk from the local corner store no longer requires donning advanced hiking gear, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, and children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prosperic's national animal is the Prosperic Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Prosperic is ranked 18,481^st in the world and 60^th in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Poor Incomes, with 94,861.84 Standard Monetary Units.
