The Kingdom of Pren Du is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Merllyn ap Ddraig with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, vat-grown people, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.238 billion Pren Duans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pren Duan economy, worth 687 trillion Dragons a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,254 Dragons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Pren Du City make great practice for foreign snipers, summer science camps are regularly raided by narcotics police, Pren Du has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, and faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pren Du's national animal is the Red Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pren Du is ranked 203,557^th in the world and 3,171^st in The East Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,209.67 Standard Monetary Units.
