Nation/Prumerica

Prumerica's Description

The Socialist Amazing Blue Cake of Prumerica is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Elected Monarch Erik Schmidt with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 3.101 billion Prumericans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Königsburg. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Prumerican economy, worth 376 trillion Aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 121,567 Aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, every workday begins with group therapy, and birth rates have hit an all-time low. Crime is totally unknown. Prumerica's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.
