The Federal Republic of Primexia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Kyra Starr with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.581 billion Primexians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Primexian economy, worth 377 trillion Solaris a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,214 Solaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, hand-to-hand combat experience is udderly essential for all dairy ranchers, prisoners fit in their parole hearings around their spa treatments, and sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Primexia's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Primexia is ranked 8,352^nd in the world and 178^th in the Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 68.5 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
