The Free Land of Prussianland is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 150 million Prussians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The very strong Prussian economy, worth 10.6 trillion Thalers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 70,457 Thalers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 274,447 per year while the poor average 12,356, a ratio of 22.2 to 1.

Organ donation is compulsory, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Prussianland City to enjoy their national art, and water fights now end with thousands dead. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Prussianland's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Prussianland is ranked 266,164th in the world and 1,285th in Europe for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -8.37 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
