Prydon, officially the Republic of Prydon (Prydonian: Praydon Laséia)(Karnetvorian: Прайдонь Республика) is a sovereign nation located in the southern cone of the Cordillian Continent, west of the Cordillian Mountain Ranges. Prydon shares borders with Mitallduk Confederation, Krauanagaz Federation, Zuhlgan, and shares the region with Karnetvor and Techganet. It borders the Cordillian Sea and the Marinkora Mountains to the west, and the Cordillian Mountains to its east. The nation straddles the vale of the Belaya River, and occupies an expansive flat terrain known as the Plodorodnyy Croplands. There are 46 million citizens of Prydon, spread across a territory of around 137 thousand kilometres square. Prydonian and Karnetvorian are the main ethnic groups residing in Prydon.

Prydon is a Unitary Semi-Parliamentary Republic, with its capital in Lasvorn, an ancient trade post deep in the heart of the country. The nation is fairly decentralized, and is separated into 17 Okrugs. Prydon’s largest cities included Aetrinun, Kostroya in the north, Solnevorn, and Setrivié in the south. Aetrinun, the largest city of Prydon, is a bustling metropolis, serving as the economic and cultural centre of Prydonians, as well as being one of the major urban centres of Southern Cordillia. The Plodorodnyy Plain is one of the centers of cotton production in the world that supplies massive amount of raw materials for Prydon's textile manufacturing.

Prydon went through a Communist dictatorship following the fall of the Kingdom of Prydon in 1957. The dictatorship was eventually replaced by an Ultravisionary regime led by Nikolai Andrezhnev, which made Prydon one of the leading scientific and engineering innovators in Pacifica. However, the people suffered under a police state, and the nation became isolated due to horrible human rights score. By the end of the 20th century, the Ultravisionary system was in shambles, and entering the 21st century, Prydon entered into a state of economic and societal crisis. The economy eventually plummeted, and a revolution brought down the Ultravisionaries, replacing it with a democratic semi-parliamentary government. Prydon is a member of the Cross-Pacific Space Cooperation. (Full article...)
