The McQueen and Tokai Teio of A Promise is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.272 billion Promiseans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny government prioritizes Spirituality, although Education, Defense, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 5.5%.

The Promisean economy, worth 91.7 trillion Pros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,118 Pros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Patriots insist that size does matter, Promisean novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Leader, homebuyers must agree to name their firstborn after the previous owner, and the government will gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. A Promise's national animal is the Mise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

A Promise is ranked 213,727^th in the world and 5^th in Freedom and Justice Alliance for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 279.65 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
