The Jingoistic States of Primarest is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 6.169 billion Primaresti 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 minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Spirituality and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The Primaresti economy, worth 313 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 50,810 florins, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, Leader's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, and the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Primarest's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Buddheo-Christian values.

Primarest is ranked 87,093^rd in the world and 12^th in Homestead for Nicest Citizens, with 15.09 average smiles per day.
