The Republic of Praban is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and avant-garde cinema. The cynical, devout population of 693 million Prabanese are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manahan. The average income tax rate is 45.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Prabanese economy, worth 54.1 trillion kepings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,080 kepings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Political dissidents are cut off from essential services, Praban's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, and all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Praban's national animal is the trenggiling, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Praban is ranked 61,713^th in the world and 61^st in Anteria for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 500.27 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
