The Pink Holy Lucky Christmas of Pretiosa is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Dracula with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.965 billion Pretiosans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Pretiosan economy, worth 474 trillion gold bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 160,058 gold bars, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

The Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, emergency responders spend more time in the air than giving air, and planes can be grounded for months simply because an inspector "didn't like the color". Crime is totally unknown. Pretiosa's national animal is the bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is H m lism.

Pretiosa is ranked 177,510^th in the world and 91^st in The Frontier Sea for Largest Populations, with 2.96 billion capita.
