The Federal Republic of The Pride Empire is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 492 million Pridians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 13.1%.

The Pridian economy, worth 28.3 trillion Pridian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,465 Pridian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, national chefs believe that you can eat anything so long as you deep fry it first, and a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun. Crime is totally unknown. The Pride Empire's national animal is the Icy Cemu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Pride Empire is ranked 66,716^th in the world and 20^th in Rosaria for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 49,937.37 Standard Monetary Units.
