The Republic of Pradera is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Carlos José de León with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.391 billion Praderians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pradera City. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Praderan economy, worth 434 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 99,054 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A flying elephant and Prime Minister Carlos José de León share the same nickname, Pradera isn't what it used to be, Prime Minister Carlos José de León has taken to wearing medal-adorned military uniform in all public appearances, and saying "don't do anything that Prime Minister Carlos José de León wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pradera's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pradera is ranked 6,510^th in the world and 23^rd in Thaecia for Safest, scoring 127.26 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
