The Imperial Union of New Pruessen is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Chancellor Norden with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, triple-decker prams, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 14.33 billion Pruessisches 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 Healthcare, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königsberg. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Pruessenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,191 trillion Thalers a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,951 Thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore, there's a bright dawn ahead for New Pruessen, diplomatic cables about Chancellor Norden have suddenly been very flattering, and funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Pruessen's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

New Pruessen is ranked 232,948^th in the world and 3^rd in Imperial German Confederation for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
