The Incorporated States of Prism Point is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 410 million Prism Pointians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 35.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Prism Pointian economy, worth 23.6 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,533 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, the housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle, and Prism Point has designated Prism Point City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prism Point's national animal is the falcon.
