The Prosperous Blue Republic of Prosperic is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Nathaniel Forsyth with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 861 million Prospericans are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The large, moralistic, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kotthagen. The average income tax rate is 74.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Prosperican economy, worth 112 trillion Serics a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 130,067 Serics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, travelers praise airports for their endless beige corridors, and abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prosperic's national animal is the Prosperic Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Prosperic is ranked 23,177^th in the world and 92^nd in the Plains of Perdition for Smartest Citizens, with 63.88 quips per hour.
