The Republic of Pradera is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Carlos José de León with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 4.3 billion Praderians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pradera City. The average income tax rate is 88.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Praderan economy, worth 422 trillion Dollars 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 98,321 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, it's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts, and prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pradera's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pradera is ranked 20,253^rd in the world and 41^st in Thaecia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.51 law-abiding acts per hour.
