The People's Republic of Pradovnia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Dear Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 20.647 billion Pradovnians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaflograd. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Pradovnian economy, worth a remarkable 5,003 trillion Pradloks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 242,348 Pradloks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, The Dear Leader's office is running a trade deficit of midnight oil, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pradovnia's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Pradovnia is ranked 1,394^th in the world and 68^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 905.74 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
