The 1st Solar Furnace of Prometheus Projects is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Edward Busch with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 28.664 billion Prometheus Projectsians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Prometheus Projectsian economy, worth a remarkable 4,870 trillion Rays a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 169,927 Rays, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Edward Busch is quite hard to get a hold of, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation, and 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prometheus Projects's national animal is the Sun dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is agnostics.

Prometheus Projects is ranked 279,538^th in the world and 138^th in Canada for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.86 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
