The Absolutist Kingdom of Prolespia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Supreme King Johnny Harrison with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.601 billion Prospians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Larredown. The average income tax rate is 86.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Prolespian economy, worth 622 trillion Propius a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 172,769 Propius, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, news headlines usually include p-values, thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, and citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prolespia's national animal is the Drärse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Harrisonism.

Prolespia is ranked 11,233rd in the world and 998th in Lazarus for Most Patriotic, with 60.95 flags saluted per person per day.
