The Kingdom of Prydania is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by King Tobias III Loðbrók with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The devout population of 23.608 billion Prydanians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Býkonsviði. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Prydanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,874 trillion Krosses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,749 Krosses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', accusations of corruption stick when the accused are long-gone, owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning, and descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prydania's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Laurenist Messianism.

Prydania is ranked 42,978^th in the world and 853^rd in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 121,749.24 Standard Monetary Units.
