The Socialist People's Republic of Prackin Kelew is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by The Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.024 billion Prackin Kelewians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prackin Kelew City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Prackin Kelewian economy, worth a remarkable 1,549 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 193,166 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People are bored of easy crossword puzzles, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, and jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Prackin Kelew's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Prackin Kelew is ranked 332,243^rd in the world and 2,673^rd in the West Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -17.16 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
