The Commonwealth of Prospannia is a huge, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 273 million Prospannians 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 Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 26.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Prospannian economy, worth 10.4 trillion Divitans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,050 Divitans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Prospannia's radio stations, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, Leader can be seen doing doughnuts in a new Rambogini, and there's no such thing as bad publicity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prospannia's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Prospannia is ranked 139,914th in the world and 3,056th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62 law-abiding acts per hour.
