The Holy Confederation of Pryskiva is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Arker Rostson with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, devout population of 2.161 billion Pryskivans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volzoborn City. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pryskivan economy, worth 245 trillion Arbøns 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 113,785 Arbøns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, nations that kill a Pryskivan can expect a strongly worded letter, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Pryskiva, and the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pryskiva's national animal is the Bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Pryskiva is ranked 269,823^rd in the world and 197^th in Covenant Shores for Most Primitive, scoring -157.81 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
