The Meritocratic Republic of Neo Prutenia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Friedrich Georg Hohenheimer with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 35.963 billion Prut are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königssteen. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Prut economy, worth an astonishing 18,890 trillion Prut Talers 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 525,286 Prut Talers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, and the army lives rent-free in foreigners' heads and houses. Crime is totally unknown. Neo Prutenia's national animal is the Pelagic Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Heliandism.

Neo Prutenia is ranked 591^st in the world and 26^th in Lazarus for Highest Average Incomes, with 525,286.21 Standard Monetary Units.
