The People's Republic of Promethium Prime is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Chancellor Marshal with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.276 billion Primeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xenon. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Prime economy, worth a remarkable 2,106 trillion Platinums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 204,991 Platinums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, rural children are told reading's important (for other people), and school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Promethium Prime's national animal is the Zinc, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Prime Directive.

Promethium Prime is ranked 115,084^th in the world and 4,472^nd in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,866.73 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
