The People's Republic of Prowen is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Florence Hilton with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.08 billion Prowenians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Priecetown. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Prowenian economy, worth 259 trillion Prieces a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 124,669 Prieces, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prowen's national animal is the Flamingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Prowen is ranked 16,226^th in the world and 105^th in The Leftist Assembly for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93 law-abiding acts per hour.
