The Empire of Pruznia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 948 million Pruznians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rasbik. The average income tax rate is 42.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Pruznian economy, worth 83.8 trillion Ziks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 88,442 Ziks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The armed forces have designated 'murder teams' that root out rebels in Brasilistan, captured Brasilistani POWs are staying in 5-star hotels, all technology must be personally blessed by religious officials before purchase, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Pruznia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pruznia is ranked 66,056^th in the world and 3,610^th in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,612.65 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
