The Kingdom of Prayd is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Glavis with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate population of 9.23 billion Praydians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karnsbern. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Praydian economy, worth a remarkable 1,010 trillion Margoes 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 109,461 Margoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, and the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prayd's national animal is the Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Prayd is ranked 9,865^th in the world and 521^st in Osiris for Highest Food Quality, scoring 161.68 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
