The Combined Allied Forces of Prefect Powers is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.098 billion Prefect soldiers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Environment, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 16.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The a soldier of Prefect economy, worth 308 trillion Intercurrs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 60,456 Intercurrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prefect Powers's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Prefect Powers is ranked 144,038^th in the world and 8,115^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,586.14 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
