The Kick-ass Sideburns of Prince Fielder is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, cynical population of 2.895 billion are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miller Park. The average income tax rate is 88%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Prince Fielder is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, students cut up leftover Home Runs during Arts and Crafts, the military has quashed a recent coup attempt, and the Ministry of Truthiness now manages the entire media industry. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prince Fielder's national animal is the Ryan Braun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Home Run.

Prince Fielder is ranked 197th in Taijitu and 94,387th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -25 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
