The Grand Duchy of Prustes is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.707 billion Prustesians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Prustesian economy, worth 251 trillion Lustrous Lupins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 147,607 Lustrous Lupins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 962,471 per year while the poor average 8,959, a ratio of 107 to 1.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, glassy-eyed Prustesian wives lifelessly chant "I love you" on command, and citizens are arrested for naturally producing proteins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prustes's national animal is the Prussian Snow Panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Prustes is ranked 39,765^th in the world and 17^th in We like money for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,255.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
