The Frontierist Signature of -Priola is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Polo Nirte with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and lack of airports. The devout population of 3.861 billion Priolans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government prioritizes Spirituality, with Education, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ife. The average income tax rate is 15.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Priolan economy, worth 166 trillion Orcrits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,107 Orcrits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, for 25 Orcrits tourists can gawk at the site of national tragedy, the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains, and no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. -Priola's national animal is the Red Bellied Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Children of the Meteor.

-Priola is ranked 159,626th in the world and 185th in Lightyears Away for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 490.92 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
