The Kingdom of Praedia is a mid-sized, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 50 million Praedians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order, Defense, and Education also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The very strong Praedian economy, worth 3.34 trillion Praedian Sovereigns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 66,832 Praedian Sovereigns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 213,926 per year while the poor average 15,849, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Praedia's national animal is the Praedian Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Praedia is ranked 170,853^rd in the world and 20^th in Audinesca for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 32.34 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
