The Kingdom of Prayd is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Glavis with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 13.943 billion Praydians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karnsbern. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Praydian economy, worth a remarkable 1,600 trillion Margoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 114,780 Margoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The diplomatic corps tends to open negotiations by insulting all the foreigners in the room, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Glavis is a silly poophead, and too many developers spoil the codebase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prayd's national animal is the Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Prayd is ranked 7,780^th in the world and 409^th in Osiris for Highest Food Quality, scoring 168.29 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
