The Empire of Pruznia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Zik Kazan with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.863 billion Pruznians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rasbik. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pruznian economy, worth 488 trillion Ziks a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 100,377 Ziks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a bright dawn ahead for Pruznia, acupuncture is routinely prescribed for intravenous drug addicts, many aides in Zik Kazan's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, and most citizens in Pruznia are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pruznia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bhairavi.

Pruznia is ranked 110,119^th in the world and 4,612^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,577.6 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
