The People's Republic of Promethium Prime is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Chancellor Marshal with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.2 billion Primeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xenon. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Prime economy, worth a remarkable 2,105 trillion Platinums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,382 Platinums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, rural children are told reading's important (for other people), and school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Promethium Prime's national animal is the Zinc, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Prime Directive.

Promethium Prime is ranked 7,944^th in the world and 429^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 105.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
