The Hallowed Nation of Prismaria is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Empress of Light with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 3.134 billion Prismarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irisia. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Prismarian economy, worth 274 trillion Prismatic dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,727 Prismatic dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, and whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Prismarian Embarrassments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prismaria's national animal is the Prismatic Lacewing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Prismaria is ranked 22,872^nd in the world and 834^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
