The United States of Prussenland is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its closed borders, barren, inhospitable landscape, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 650 million Prussenlandians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The thriving Prussenlandian economy, worth 56.5 trillion Prussenmarks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 86,968 Prussenmarks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 316,451 per year while the poor average 16,998, a ratio of 18.6 to 1.

Governments opposing Prussenland are beset by rebels, schoolchildren's "what I did on my holidays" essays tend to be somewhat homogeneous, bars are packed at all hours, and online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Prussenland. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Prussenland's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Prussenland is ranked 201,933^rd in the world and 91^st in Flanelistan for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.3 kickbacks per hour.
