The Aeternus Imperius Administ of Pries United is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Erebus Alastore with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.807 billion Mexicans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aeternus. The average income tax rate is 61.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mexican economy, worth 392 trillion Lunareses a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 139,664 Lunareses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption, health-conscious denizens drink their dogs' water, diplomacy falls apart when diplomats drink too much, and the government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pries United's national animal is the Mockingjay, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Pries United is ranked 16,751^st in the world and 30^th in Christians for Highest Poor Incomes, with 99,363.36 Standard Monetary Units.
