The Commonwealth of Pruthania is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 156 million Pruthanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 43.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Pruthanian economy, worth 8.17 trillion Ordensmarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,392 Ordensmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, internet sites are legally unable to stop their users from posting pornography, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, and a third of Pruthanians are e-certified CEOs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pruthania's national animal is the Bundesadler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pruthania is ranked 253,076^th in the world and 357^th in Europe for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 27.78 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
