The Confederation of The Pronghorn is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Premier Lester Pearson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.683 billion Mulberries love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of County Zephyr. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mulberry economy, worth a remarkable 1,346 trillion ravens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 106,165 ravens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, the government has begun selling heroin and ecstasy to help fund its projects, gift hampers filled with delicious beef jerky are sent to newly communist nations, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Pronghorn's national animal is the pronghorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Corbie Tales.

The Pronghorn is ranked 190,140th in the world and 4th in Trickster Eyrie for Most Stationary, with 61.6061758498 days.
