The Protectorate of Der Kleine Prinz is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 19.475 billion Der Kleine Prinzians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kinderstadt. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Der Kleine Prinzian economy, worth a remarkable 1,200 trillion roses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,661 roses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes, and animal control is going door-to-door releasing all pets back into the wild. Crime is totally unknown. Der Kleine Prinz's national animal is the schaf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Der Kleine Prinz is ranked 74,915^th in the world and 36^th in Nudist Dreamland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
