The Kingdom of Prydania is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by King Tobias III Loðbrók with an even hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 19.723 billion Prydanians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Býkonsviði. The average income tax rate is 89.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Prydanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,355 trillion Krosses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,404 Krosses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', and accusations of corruption stick when the accused are long-gone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prydania's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Laurenist Messianism.

Prydania is ranked 297,348^th in the world and 5,497^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.84 flags saluted per person per day.
