The People's Republic of Princess VIII is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 3.929 billion Princess VIIIians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 28.3%.

The Princess VIIIian economy, worth 146 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,363 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Princess VIIIian politicians, newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government, roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse, and local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Princess VIII's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Princess VIII is ranked 101,681^st in the world and 433^rd in Alliance of Storage Power for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,031.78 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
