The Principality of Pretty Boy is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its public floggings, enforced nudity, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 14.807 billion Pretty Boyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Fleur. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Pretty Boyian economy, worth 670 trillion sourires a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,283 sourires, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, former gun owners are finding that brandishing paintball guns isn't as satisfying as the real thing, and deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pretty Boy's national animal is the chevreuil, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Homosexuality.

Pretty Boy is ranked 129,575^th in the world and 19^th in Gay Equality for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 818.14 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
