The Federal Republic of Prosperian is a small, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 40 million Prosperianians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The thriving Prosperianian economy, worth 3.08 trillion Merits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 76,877 Merits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 271,045 per year while the poor average 15,777, a ratio of 17.2 to 1.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and military spending is on the increase. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Prosperian's national animal is the Beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Prosperian is ranked 227,682^nd in the world and 5,696^th in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 22.45 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
