The Kingdom of Pren Du is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Merllyn ap Ddraig with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.332 billion Pren Duans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pren Duan economy, worth 620 trillion Dragons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,331 Dragons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, a bureaucratic fight over PDIA cafeteria food expenditures has caused the temporary suspension of all agency counterintelligence operations, government policy is dictated by a major religion, and weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pren Du's national animal is the Red Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pren Du is ranked 35,962^nd in the world and 547^th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 60.56 kickbacks per hour.
