The Empire of Prevails is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Emperor George IV with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 3.658 billion Prevailsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperial City of Victoria. The average income tax rate is 84.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Prevailsian economy, worth 625 trillion Royal Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 170,972 Royal Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, and P-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prevails's national animal is the Sabretooth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orwenism.

Prevails is ranked 217,619^th in the world and 193^rd in The League for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
