The Provincial Union of Principalium is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Governor-Councillor Wilhelm with a fair hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, prohibition of alcohol, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.316 billion Principaliumians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Centricips. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Principaliumian economy, worth 391 trillion Princis a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,848 Princis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, and builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Principalium's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judeo-Bolshevism.

Principalium is ranked 3,925^th in the world and 2^nd in Markion for Most Developed, scoring 96.06 on the Human Development Index.
