The Supreme new age nation of Prolonged Suffering is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Kurt the Robotic Overlord and murderking with an iron fist, and remarkable for its lack of airports, suspicion of poets, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.566 billion tiny kurtians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Spirituality is also considered important, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of that large canon on the moon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.3%.

The frighteningly efficient kurtian economy, worth a remarkable 3,147 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 272,100 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,892,258 per year while the poor average 13,627, a ratio of 138 to 1.

Officer recruitment and police brutality have reached an all-time high, enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice, soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, and the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Prolonged Suffering's national animal is the squid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is worshiping the large canon on the moon.

Prolonged Suffering is ranked 265,233rd in the world and 8,702nd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 13.22032487232 days.
