The Absolutist Kingdom of Prolespia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Supreme King Johnny Harrison with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, vat-grown people, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.497 billion Prospians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Larredown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Prolespian economy, worth 605 trillion Propius a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 173,241 Propius, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 918,369 per year while the poor average 17,295, a ratio of 53.1 to 1.

Criminals are thrown to the Drärses to repay their debt to society, the government now pays the "Really Awesome Super Heroes" (RASH) to catch evildoers, road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, and eight-year-olds can be seen lighting up in public areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prolespia's national animal is the Drärse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Harrisonism.

Prolespia is ranked 8,303rd in the world and 460th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 131 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
