The Kingdom of Pren Du is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Merllyn ap Ddraig with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.284 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, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pren Duan economy, worth 617 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 116,855 Dragons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. 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 115,269^th in the world and 2,108^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,650.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
