The Lunar Sway of Prospit is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The White Queen with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 11.164 billion Prospitians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kingdom of Light. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Prospitian economy, worth a remarkable 1,310 trillion Boondollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,428 Boondollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes, it's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise, and primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prospit's national animal is the Prospit Dreamer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Chess.

Prospit is ranked 212,621^st in the world and 8,901^st in The North Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 90.22 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
